A Southasia Peace Action Network (SAPAN) discussion pegged on Harappa Films’ award-winning documentary Mohenjo daro: Unsealing an Ancient Indus City (37 min, 2026) recently released on YouTube.

Moderated by archaeological and photographic historian Dr. Sudeshna Guha, with the filmmaker and Harappa.com's founder Omar Khan, and Sehba Sarwar, poet and activist, who reads her new poem about the so-called Dancing Girl of Mohenjo-daro.
