Greetings!
The Khushwant Singh Literary Festivals’ (KSLF) Joy of Learning program, the Gandhi Peace Foundation and the literary journal Out of Print are pleased to announce the 4th edition of the Kodaikanal Gandhi Prize.
The Joy of Learning contest celebrates the legacy of Khushwant Singh, author, scholar, journalist, iconoclast. He was a mentor to generations of young people, journalists, and writers.
