Controversy hounded the Jaipur Literature Festival on Monday as different groups made demands that were shot down by the organisers.
Writers from India and abroad will meet at the sixth Jaipur Literature Festival at Diggi Palace in Jaipur Jan 24-28 for five days to discuss literature. The festival will also highlight Indian language writing to explore transitions in literary ethos.
A star-studded lineup of international writers, including Commonwealth Prize winner Aminatta Forna from Sierra Leone, Booker Prize winner Howard Jacobson and Orange Prize winners Linda Grant and Madeline Miller, will lend glamour to the DSC Jaipur Literature Festival Feb 24-28.
