Hisar is set to host Haryana’s first-ever literature festival as the Jindal Literature Festival will be held at Vidya Devi Jindal School from November 21 to 23.

Amitabh Singh Baghel, cultural entrepreneur and director of the festival, said the festival has been founded by Deepika Jindal, an entrepreneur and philanthropist.

Baghel said the festival, titled “Crucible of Conversations”, will be the first major literature festival ever organised in the state. He said the festival will bring together distinguished writers, performers, scholars and creative voices across a wide spectrum of genres, including fiction, poetry, history, performance, journalism, culinary heritage, theatre, folklore, contemporary culture and the performing arts, making the event both intellectually rich and culturally vibrant.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
