Siasat Art Gallery is one of the fortunate participant in the World Book Fair, where it displayed their Islamic Calligraphic artifects in the exhibition.
Over 15 lakh people is expected to attend the 15 days long book fair in New Delhi.
President Pranab Mukherjee on Saturday said that India’s pluralism and social, cultural, linguistic and religious diversity is her greatest strength and a multiple source of inspiration for every Indian.
“We must be uncompromising in rejecting intolerance, prejudice and hatred. Book fairs such as NDWBF should remind us that our history and traditions have always celebrated the ‘argumentative’ Indian and not the ‘intolerant’ Indian,” he said while inaugurating the New Delhi World Book Fair (NDWBF) at Pragati Maidan here today.
