Sommaire:
Subhas completed his under-graduate degree in South Africa and a Licentiate Diploma in Speech Therapy through Trinity College, London. He was best-known for the productions of Black on White I & II - satirizing the socio-political-economic conditions of the South African apartheid system. He was in the final process of editing Fatima Meer's book, A Portrait of South African Indians, and had completed writing the first half of A Pageant on the Life of Mahatma Gandhi with Alan Paton when he was forced to leave in 1969. He was informed that he was on the list of the Bureau Of State Security (BOSS) and with the assistance of family and friends, he left South Africa with a ticket to Toronto, Canada. Leaving South Africa was harrowing but arriving in London, England, was even more disturbing. He had no travel visa and was threatened with deportation, but after much questioning he was given a visitor's visa for 30-days. He landed in Toronto where the reception was less forceful than in London. Once again he was given a 30-day visitor's visa in Canada. Destiny guided him to Regina where he was welcomed as a landed immigrant. He had a thin margin of 14-days to find a new country. Subhas completed a Master's Degree in Speech-Language Pathology and continues to work in that capacity in Saskatchewan, Canada. He designed and developed the Pictogram Symbols Program, a visual communication strategy which is used internationally and has created many educational and community-based items using the symbols. He has published the IMAGINATION DRIFT Trilogy...
