Great Pleasure to be Part of #BBLF2024 I am thrilled that # BBLF is holding its second edition on the 8th, 9th, and 10th of August 2025 at St. John's Auditorium in Bengaluru. As a participant in the first edition, it brings together representatives of all the major languages of South India. When I say significant, I don't mean only the four languages but also the languages spoken by collectives, tribes, and small communities, which contribute to growth and quality from year to year. It is a great pleasure to be in Bengaluru during those days. I am sure there will be many more writers this time, including those not represented in the last edition. I wish BBLF- 2 all the best.

Undoubtedly, the Great Uniting Force The Book Brahma Literary Festival is unique in every way. It showcases four South Indian languages, literature, authors, musicians, artists, and folk art—what more could you ask for? Over three days, attendees experience intellectual stimulation, artistic enjoyment, and discussions around publishing dilemmas. The venue is beautiful, nestled in nature—simple yet elegant. It promotes tolerance towards differences and respects them. Instead of hate, embrace love for diversity. I feel these principles guided Book Brahma and hope they will continue to guide it.

Fantastic Festival of Indian Languages This is to say how much I enjoyed participating in the Book Brahma festival. #BBLF had gathered an array of eminent thinkers, writers, and artists, and listening to them was a great pleasure. I particularly recall the warm hospitality, the informality, and the attentive and serious audience. It was a great occasion for me to catch up with friends and make new ones. All in all, it was a fantastic festival.

Brilliant and Powerful Bandwagon Book Brahma, focusing on the Dakshin and Indian Languages, is an initiative that addresses a compelling necessity of our times. Over the last decade, the strengthening of the South Indian identity has been palpable. Therefore, the need to open a cultural dialogue between the southern languages and forge a diverse, multilingual, mutually respectful, and peaceful collective was widely felt. Last year, Book Brahma’s first edition was a brilliant and powerful start to this new journey. I am thrilled and proud to be part of this sober bandwagon.

Celebration of Indian Languages Book Brahma Literature Festival (#BBLF) is a unique festival celebrating Indian language literature. It is a truly special experience to listen to and interact with writers from diverse Indian languages. Until now, no effort of this magnitude has been made to bring together writers from these four languages from the Southern States.

An Outstanding Literary Festival #BBLF is one of the most remarkable and memorable literary festivals I’ve enjoyed participating in. What distinguishes it is its steadfast commitment to honoring the rich and diverse languages of Southern India, which feels incredibly essential in today’s world. Festivals like this possess a unique ability to unite brilliant voices, offering authors a platform to connect with broader audiences. Beyond literature, BBLF is a lively celebration of music, dance, and drama, creating a comprehensive cultural experience that leaves a lasting impression.

Kudos for the Fantastic Debut with #BBLF The Book Brahma Literature Festival was a vibrant celebration of South Indian literature, uniting the latest books, authors, and publishers. The event had an energetic vibe, engaging interactions, and a diverse crowd. The festival showcased the richness of Indian languages with strong representation from Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam literature. The lineup of authors highlighted diverse languages and publishing trends, enriching the discussions. Bengaluru was the perfect host, drawing a large and enthusiastic audience. Kudos to Book Brahma for curating such a fantastic debut edition and making it a grand success!

The Best- Organized Literature Festival Having attended many literary festivals in India and abroad, I can unhesitatingly say that the Book Brahma Lit fest is one of the best-organized festivals. Being the first festival dedicated to four South Indian languages presents both a challenge and an opportunity. The first such festival faced various challenges and succeeded in bringing together authors and publishers from many languages. The themes for the fest were chosen carefully, and they could attract large crowds. I wish the second edition all the success.

Excellent Experience, an Incredible Event I enjoyed attending #BBLF2024; it was a wonderful experience. Thanks to the founder, Satish Chapparike, and his excellent team for organizing such an incredible event for book lovers like myself. The fest was well-organized, and even though I couldn't participate in all the activities, I heard they were engaging. One suggestion would be to consider expanding the space for book stalls, as it felt a bit congested. Also, highlighting new writers in a separate section would be great. Wishing the best for BBLF 25 on Aug 8th, 9th, and 10th– looking forward to it!
