IHC Samanvay 2023: Celebrating Ideas and Indian Languages
IHC-Samanvay, our literature festival celebrating Indian languages began its journey in 2011.
An exclusive Indian Languages Festival, it was begun to provide a unique and dedicated platform to Indian Literature, a space that was shrinking even as the number of literature festivals were multiplying exponentially.
Unequivocally declaring its vision as a Samanvay to bring together and connect "the many glories and diversities of India as reflected in its plentisome tongues"; it continues to be a seminal space for critical thinking on language, literature, the arts, and other emerging streams of knowledge and creativity.
We are fortunate to have the partnership of publishers and collaborators who share our enthusiasm and are enabling our efforts. They have curated the Samanvay sessions with authors and speakers that bring us multiple languages and voices from across the country.
We are grateful and indebted to Prof. Pushpesh Pant who has generously spared his time. In addition to delivering the keynote address for the opening session he has shared his goldmine of eclectic knowledge and experience to guide and structure the sessions.
