NEW DELHI: For the first time in six years, the international Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF) welcomed Pakistani writers as it opened on Friday in a virtual format introduced in the wake of the pandemic. “What’s happening in the literature in Pakistani is remarkable, there are many great writers there and we want them here every year. “Looking at the Lahore Lit festival program, it’s full of Indian speakers this year because it is virtual. Earlier, they had difficulties in getting in Indian speakers,” Dalrymple said. “The Jaipur Literature Festival is representative of these ideals and will continue to be a platform to celebrate the joy of knowledge.”
