Jaipur Literary Fest, AKLF to share speakers

“For example, British playwright Hanif Kureshi will be a part of the JLF and AKLF as well,” AKLF director Anjum Katyal said on Monday. “This will help to widen reach among Indian booklovers,” she added.

India’s cultural heritage, as well as commemoration of 125th birth anniversary of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, will be the highlights at the fest.

Spanning five days, the literary forum will host eminent personalities from various fields including Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, Justice Leila Seth, conservationist Saad Bin Jung of the Pataudi royal family, British journalist John Elliot and American travel writer Michael Buckley.
