The seventh edition of The Hindu Lit for Life is taking place at the Sir Mutha Venkatasubba Rao Concert Hall in Lady Andal School in Chennai from Saturday. The interaction at The Hindu Pavilion moved from their work to how art helps add beauty and hope in a world that often suffers from hatred, lack of freedom of expression and authoritarianism. According to Amruta, art helps preserve the beauty that is getting lost in the world; it is a sort of resistance to the uprising of hatred. Nirmala Lakshman: The increased registrations for Lit for Life 2017 is an indication that people want to engage with the written word. Welcome to The Hindu Lit for Life, India's sharpest literature festival.
