The Ireland India Institute is delighted to invite you to the 11th edition of Tata Literature Live! The Mumbai LitFest, 16-22 November 2020. It is not organised by us but we do happily share this type of news.  Thanks to Anil Dharker, Founder & Festival Director, for sharing the event with the Ireland India Institute.

This year’s festival is a reflection of the year 2020, a year of more significant social, political, economic and cultural changes than we’ve had in a long time.

Tata Literature Live! 2020 will be a Virtual Festival celebrating Real Books.
