KSLF Highlights

Crowdfunding KSLF London

The Khushwant Singh Literary Festival London is a labor of love. To promote the legacy of Khushwant Singh (KS), author, scholar, journalist and iconoclast, by discussing the values he stood for, and addressing his concerns. London is where he worked and studied and it helped shape many of his passions and concerns. Some of which are closer ties between India and Pakistan; equal opportunities for women worldwide; and disseminating the values of democracy, tolerance, compassion in a world that is increasingly more polarised. And to never forget Mother Nature, for without her we are nothing. Ecology was his constant love. KSLF London is a meeting of minds to celebrate ideas that can change the lives of all connected with these issues and with an interest in the subcontinent. 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.
