About this event

The Khushwant Singh Literary Festival (KSLF) returns to London in its 6th edition. This event includes 15 sessions of discussions on books and an evening of music.

The theme, Heal the World, resonates with what is happening in the world today. Our outlook, as always, is positive and solution-oriented. Where we carry forward the legacy and ideals of Khushwant Singh, author, scholar, journalist and iconoclast, by discussing the values he stood for, and addressing his concerns.

London is where he worked and studied and it helped shape many of his passions. Some of which are closer ties between India and Pakistan; caring for our heritage and our fragile planet; equal opportunities for women worldwide; and disseminating the values of democracy, tolerance and compassion in a world that is increasingly more polarised.

Come, let's Heal the World over words, over perceptions, over conversations, and over books.

We will soon keep you updated on our lineup of speakers and performers and the schedule.
