GATEWAY LITFEST is a literary jamboree of regional writers and writings, with perhaps the largest such gatherings ever. It is a great confluence of regional literature in India.

Gateway Lit Fest is an attempt to correct this imbalance and impropriety by bringing together vernacular languages into English and Hindi-dominated mainstream literary jamborees.
