The Khushwant Singh Literary Festival is a labor of love. And a festival with a purpose. To promote the legacy of Khushwant Singh (KS), author, scholar, journalist and iconoclast, by discussing the values he stood for, and addressing his concerns. Some of which are equal opportunities for women worldwide; the preservation of the environment; Indo-Pakistan friendship; and disseminating the values of democracy, tolerance, compassion in a world that is increasingly more polarised. KSLF is a meeting of minds to celebrate ideas that can change the lives of all connected with these issues. KSLF is also dedicated to the Indian soldier. Khushwant Singh had a deep and abiding love for the country, with its amazing diversity of faiths, languages and cultures, all of which we try and reflect in the KSLF.
KSLF is organised entirely by volunteers. And friends of Khushwant Singh and the organisers who contribute in money and kind. Every donation goes a long way in creating a world with values.
Over the years, the KSLF has been able to attract a galaxy of authors, thinkers and celebrities. Starting with just a couple of hundred, the audience has increased to over 1,000 a session, coming from all over India, even from abroad. KSLF has put Kasauli on the literary map of the country.
Running a litfest requires a great deal of effort and considerable funding. May we, therefore, appeal to the supporters of KSLF and admirers of Khushwant Singh to donate whatever they can, however small, to the not-for-profit Khushwant Singh Foundation. Donations, which are tax-free under Section 80G, will be acknowledged.
