Punjab has borne the brunt of ruthless invaders since times immemorable. History has it that the people of this land were subjected to untold horrors and deprivations over the ages. Repeated wars gave birth to a hardy population that brought forth some of the finest warriors who walked the earth. With war came sacrifices that spurred great tales of heroism and valor. The great Mahabharata, the world’s longest poem, is set in this very region. To honour and commemorate the legendary bravery and sacrifices of our ancestors from this great land, we bring for you, India’s First Military Literature Festival. The festival is set on the shores of the picturesque Sukhna Lake, amidst stately groves of ancient trees, teeming with bird life.
