Nawanshahr, November 25: Doaba Sahitya Sabha Nawanshahr organized a book fair and kavi darbar in collaboration with Government Senior Secondary School Kariha in the same school.

Renowned story writer Ajmer Singh Sidhu shed light on the life and literature of writer Parminder Kaur Swach and scholars. Dr. Kuldeep Singh Deep, while reading the pamphlet on Parminder Kaur Swach's poetry collection 'Zard Rangana Da Mausam', said that Parminder's poetry keeps the weak and revolutionaries at the center. She presents the pain of the people and exposes the oppression of the oppressed.
Participating in the debate, Dr. Charanjit Kaur, Jasvir Samar and Gurmeet Karialvi made valuable comments. Dr. Rajinderpal Singh Brar, while concluding the debate, said that Swachh's poetry creates a political discourse against the injustices committed at the global level. Giving the keynote address, Darshan Singh Khatkar expressed concern that once upon a time, Punjabi writers used to present world events in poetry, but today it is non-existent. He praised the poetess with reference to Swachh's poem written in favor of Palestine. He said that Parminder's poetry takes a long view of imperialism, capitalism and corporateism. The stage of this session was moderated by Dr. Kewal Ram.
