IAAC - Spotlighting the Arts, Fashion, People |
The arts need creators, facilitators, patrons and an appreciative audience – and all were there in full measure at the IAAC 15th anniversary gala. It was a celebrity spotters delight with Mira Nair, Salman Rushdie, Madhur Jaffrey, Sakina Jaffrey, Sabrina Dhawan, Sarita Choudhury, Manu Narayan and Reshma Shetty.

Salman Rushdie and Mira Nair both received awards for their contribution to the arts, as did Dr. Manjula Bansal for her contributions to medicine but also for being a stellar devotee and patron of the arts. Bansal, an attending pathologist, Chief of Clinical Pathology and an associate scientist at the Hospital for Special Surgery, is also an Associate Professor of Clinical Pathology at Weill Medical College of Cornell University.
Mixing medicine and the arts, she has been an ardent supporter of the arts, working with organizations like the National Dance Institute, Asia Society and the World Summit of Children at the UN. She was one of the pioneers to put India on the mainstream radar with her stellar work with her husband Dr. Rajan Bansal on rallying the community in the endowment of a $2.5 million chair in political economy at Columbia University many years ago. She is on the board of the IAAC, always rooting for the arts. |
