Tata Steel Jharkhand Literary Meet Concludes with Captivating Sessions with Cultural Icons
The concluding day of Tata Steel Jharkhand Literary Meet (TSJLM) was marked with mesmerising performances and enriching dialogue. The two-day cultural extravaganza drew to a close with a singularly unique and enrapturing performance by veteran actor Pankaj Kapur. In a dramatic reading of his debut novel Dopehri, the thespian held the packed audience enthralled with his act, produced in the inimitable stylings of Supriya Pathak.
Literary icon and arguable the most adored author of contemporary English literature in India Ruskin Bond returned to the stage for the second time during this year’s TSJLM for a captivating session on the evolution of his murder mysteries. With a full house in attendance, Mr Bond spoke about how he drew inspiration from day-to-day subjects and his immediate environment to develop his characters and narrative.
In his first visit to the city, journalist and renowned activist of the LGBTQ+ community Nemat Sadat spoke about the importance of acceptance and tolerance in his session. This was preceded by an informative dialogue between respected writers Gourahari Das and Magadev Toppo who spoke about the importance of literature in helping us transcend boundaries. The third edition of TSJLM also tipped its hat to poetry with a special session Hussain Haidry, Vandana Tete and Raga D’Silva.
The queen of pop who has entertained millions with her evergreen songs, Usha Uthup was also present at TSJLM to talk about her biography Ullas Ki Naav. Apart from endearing nuggets from her rich and prolific career, Ms Uthup had the audience clapping along as she entertained those gathered with renditions of some of her popular songs.
“With this 3rd edition of Tata Steel Jharkhand Literary Meet coming to an end today, I am happy to acknowledge the growing popularity of this event year on year. Tata Steel has always taken pride in associating itself with events that not only bring communities together but also give them a platform to engage and interact,” said Mr Kulvin Suri, Chief, Corporate Communications - India and SEA, Tata Steel. “Like every year, this meet offered a plethora of sessions to cater to diverse literary and cultural preferences.
