‘Why is children’s literature a side show?’— Kavita Gupta Sabharwal, Co-founder of Neev Literature Festival It was what she could not find at popular Indian literary festivals that drove Sabharwal to conceive of NLF. “We do a grand adult lit fest in Jaipur,” she says. “Why then must children’s literature be a side show that has no lasting impact? Maybe children need a dedicated forum.” Putting together the programme for such an initiative was an immersive exercise in listening, analysing and synthesising what mattered to children, parents, educators and publishers. “Clustering broad themes for dialogue and conversations helped,” she admits. “This is when publishers like Tulika became important partners, creating access to speakers.”
