THE JAIPUR LITERATURE FESTIVAL

The past decade has seen it transform into a global literary phenomenon having hosted nearly 2000 speakers and welcoming over a million book lovers from across India and the globe. Our core values remain unchanged: to serve as a democratic, non-aligned platform offering free and fair access.
Every year, the Festival brings together a diverse mix of the world's greatest writers, thinkers, humanitarians, politicians, business leaders, sports people and entertainers on one stage to champion the freedom to express and engage in thoughtful debate and dialogue.
Festival Co Directors Namita Gokhale and William Dalrymple, alongside Producer Sanjoy K Roy and Teamwork Arts, create a platform for an array of speakers to debate, discuss and present their ideas in the annual five-day programme set against the backdrop of Rajasthan's stunning cultural heritage and the Diggi Palace in the state capital Jaipur.
Past speakers have ranged from Nobel Laureates His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, J.M. Coetzee, Muhammad Yunus and Orhan Pamuk, Man Booker Prize winners Ben Okri, Howard Jacobson, Margaret Atwood, Marlon James, Michael Ondaatje, Paul Beatty and Yan Martel, Pulitzer Prize winners Andrew Sean Greer, Benjamin Moser, Colson Whitehead and Jhumpa Lahiri, Sahitya Akademi winners Gulzar, Javed Akhtar, M.T. Vasudevan Nair as well as the late Girish Karnad, Mahasweta Devi and U.R.

An annual event that goes beyond literature, the Festival has also hosted Amartya Sen, Amitabh Bachchan, the late A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Oprah Winfrey, Stephen Fry, Thomas Piketty and former president of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai.

Oh god, these so-called environmentalists are such a cry baby, too much preaching and moralistic views, not much profound insight in his talk. We, as a human, still are in the process of learning. We should live dangerously and should experience life in stressful and dangerous situations, and we should build towns, cities, habitats in unsafe places: on mountains, under the sea, in space. We survived so far, not because of paying respect to nature, but because we learned the skills of surviving in extreme situations. Nature is a brutal presence, but the basis of our life too and humans should make all possible endeavors to overcome its tyranny. Even at the cost of putting our life at risk, even if we damage anything and disappear due to our wrong actions. There are various otherwise countless reasons which can make us extinct for e.g. our evolutionary nature or any outer space event or event similar to the Toba volcano catastrophe which reduced the human population to just around 3000. Nature doesn't care about us, nature itself is a product of bigger cosmic events.

True said brother

[@tusharrawat6670]

You have no scientific knowledge of the sensitivity issue of Himalayas,you seems to be high on EQ seemingly not knowing facts. We pahadis don't want to pay price of weaklings who need visit remote places in the comfort of huge cars and leave it for us to face. Why does everybody becomes an expert from mainland about people from remote India.

[@Muleslover]

@@tusharrawat6670 Yes totally agree with you.

[@sahilbhatt1672]

For fucks sake keep this adventure away from the Himalayan regions.... The cost of this adventure is being paid by the natives.... These Himalayas need to be given rest now
