Close on the heels of the London Book Fair, London calls the Khushwant Singh Literary Festival to SOAS. 

The Khushwant Singh Literary Festival (KSLF) is a labour of love. A free to attend event. To promote the legacy 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 and concerns. Some of which are closer ties between India and Pakistan; equal opportunities for women worldwide; and disseminating the values of democracy, tolerance and compassion in a world that is increasingly more polarised.

KSLF is a meeting of minds to celebrate ideas that can change the lives of all connected with these issues and for those with an interest in the subcontinent.

Come and listen to bestseller Amish Tripathi, Lord Meghnad Desai on how economics has failed on so many fronts, Vicky Pryce on no gender justice  in free market economies, Cathy Scott-Clark and Adrian Levy on their just out extensively researched appalling account on terror, Moni Mohsin on the Social Butterfly's latest capers, and oh, not to forget, sound artist and nature beatboxer Jason Singh's performance on the evening of May 20th. And so many more.
