Dear Poets/Writers
In October 2004 we organized
our first International Writers Festival-India in Chandigarh and Shimla
and in March 2006 the 2nd International Writers Festival-India in
Kurukshetra, Yamuna-Nagar, Paonta Sahib and Haridwar, which were big
success. (See highlights at http://www.thewritersclub.org/
) More and more Poets, Writers & Intellectuals from
all over the world are keen to participate in such events to be organized
in India since India has contributed a lot to the enrichment of world
culture through literature, art and lore apart from the oriental treasures
of wisdom contained in Hindu scriptures of which Vedas and Upanishads
stand out unmatched. The message of VASUDAIV KATUMBKAM (the
whole world is our family), the India delivered thousands years ago is
unparallel in the history of mankind all over the world. So
continuing with our commitments for the cause of literature & culture,
we announce the holding of 3rd International Writers
Festival-India on 29-30 September 2007 at AGRA (U.P.)- India.
