Soul of South

The Book Brahma Literature Festival celebrates the deep connection between language and culture, particularly the rich 2,500-year legacy of South Indian languages (Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, and Telugu) in shaping world literature. With over 700 languages spoken in India alone, South Indian literature boasts ancient classics such as Silappadikaram, Adipurana, Ramacharitam, Thirunizhalmala, and Andhra Mahabharatam, along with numerous modern masterpieces. This literary tradition has contributed to 19 of the 58 Jnanpith Award winners. The festival serves as a platform that unites writers, publishers, and readers, fostering interaction and celebrating the unique soul of South Indian literature.
