Pamper or Art: A Beautiful Jaipur Literature Festival Report

Jaipur Literature Festival

The Jaipur Literature Festival(JLF) – A grand event… with grander publicity & episode grandiosity! As the name depicted & as the description lamented, the event had captured for itself an already starred attention. But vaguely & sadly, the end of the event saw a criticism nationally as well as internationally in the literary world.

Though there may be an unending debate over the nature of the fest & how it was enacted. Somewhat (in petty senses) a successful event commercially but still just to acquaint our readers with the ultimate reasons of the literary & the journalistic criticism, we describe here some points :-

First of all, a Literature Festival organized in India without any writer of Indian language! Leave others, not even a single writer of Hindi language. French sessions can on a general basis be of no use or leisure to the common Indian folk!

Secondly, the fest basically lacked in the presence of “authentic” writers, particularly the current international fictional faces of Indian Literature. It was more of a celebrity pamper than a literary directorate. Most of the guests invited were those people who belonged to film industry, politics or other areas; and later had written a book or two by choice.

Chetan Bhagat is still a commercial attraction (an IIT-D, IIM-A graduate will always be!) No doubt, his height of success is not that easy to achieve but why to forget those 3 Bookers (Aravinda Adiga, Arundhati Roy, Kiran Desai) that came to India in the last 15 years; the quality of writing clearly demarcates the persisting difference between a writer & an engineer.

And the prominent one, the major attraction in fact 😉 the Salman Rushdie controversy! I must share it that Salman Rushdie has been awarded the “Booker of Bookers Award” for his book “The Midnight Children” twice. That is, he is till date considered the best awarded writer in the world. Any writer may have tentative thoughts but if a person of his status after achieving such a long & class experience has given written form to his ideas then those definitely deserve to be given a view. First an invitation, then asked not to come & at last a video conferencing under restrictions!

A literary issue was converted into a religious issue on the grounds of political benefits & losses. No comments over religious sentiments, but how many know that what has been written actually in his book!! How can you, when it is already banned! People’s justification lies only on what the leaders say. And the world knows how much they need to be trusted! Literature should be seen in literary terms, at least for the sake of this art. The problem is that we misdifferentiate some things, rest it is in itself a big beautiful world.

And lastly & very simply, 🙂 if it was to be an all-English show; as a part of the lavish Indian class of English-reading youngsters, we had expected our stars- Nicholas Sparks (A Walk to Remember, The Notebook, Nights in Rodanthe); Cecelia Ahern (P.S. I Love You) & Paulo Coelho (Brida, The Alchemist, etc.) to “preach” us but no such loved name! Even a single of these would have made the day of millions. But regrets of expecting them to be invited!

In all, a big name, but remained bereft of a worthy judgement ……

Rally against Infant Mortality

“SAVE THE GIRL CHILD”                 “SAVE THE GIRL CHILD”                 “SAVE THE GIRL CHILD”

This was the message one could see yesterday morning while moving towards their offices in lanes of Bapu Bazar, Town Hall and Delhi Gate. Some must be thinking or amazed to see the crowd or some must be trying to guess why these people are out  & what was the occasion?? Whereas many people joined in to be the part of the gentle cause without even bothering about the occasion. The hoardings and the banners must clear some of your doubts but the question for what is the incident, remains the same. So let me clear your doubt. It was the occasion of Indian National Girls Day announced in 2009 by the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government with the hope to spread the awareness against the sex selection, female infant mortality and abortion of girl child. On the day i.e. 24th January in the year 1966 the most powerful lady in the Indian Politics daughter of Pandit Jawharlal Nehru none other than Indira Gandhi joined in as the first woman Prime Minister of the Republic of India is an anecdote behind selecting the date.

An appeal by the leading newspaper Dainik Bhaskar  and thousands of people, ample of organizations formed the part of the rally which started from Town Hall passing through Bapu Bazar, Delhi Gate summed up at District Collectorate where many organization handovered the letter to Additional District Magistrate (ADM, city) Mr. Mohammad Yaseen Pathan in the name of Chief Minister for the state. People from all walks of life joined and appreciated the cause weather it was MLA Raguveer Singh Meena, Congress Representative Neelima Sukhadiya, Dr. Prashant Agarwal of Narayan Seva Sansthan, Mr. Rahul Agarwal of Pacific Group, Mr. Harish Rajani of Sunrise Group and even Mr. B. L. Shekhawat Unit head of Danik Bhaskar Udaipur. There was a massive support to the rally.
