ABOUT US
Jashn-e-Bahar Trust
Poetry unites beyond borders and if it’s written in a language that is itself a confluence of many cultural and linguistic traditions, it carries universal appeal across generations - from connoisseurs to the Gen Next.
Well known among poetry lovers for its annual mushaira Jashn-e-Bahar for the past two decades, Jashn-e-Bahar Trust constantly involves itself in activities related to nurturing India’s rich literary traditions and works towards developing friendship and amity among people in India and across borders who share a common literary and linguistic heritage.
Headed by Cultural Activist Kamna Prasad, Jashn-e-Bahar Trust is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting Urdu and the syncretic cultural traditions it symbolizes.
It’s Scope - to give a platform to the poetics of the day and the sensibilities of the times.
It’s Aim - to promote India’s syncretic, secular values, its Ganga-Jamni culture and its hoary literary traditions.
It’s Mission - to foster amity and friendship, tolerance and acceptance through poetry.
It’s Goal - to nurture a secular, syncretic cultural continuum for our coming generations.
