Literature on Liberty at Calcutta Book Fair 2005
In connection with this site's and this webmaster's increasing awareness of India (including the neighbouring countries), which is partly a revival of a former and old interest, I take great pleasure in letting our readers, in particular in that area, but also the others, know, though with a little Indian delay :), about that book fair.
Please see this in relation to a probably upcoming special rubric on India on this site and to the following:
Private vs. Government Schools in India and
Ramblings on India :-) (in French)
and the soon upcoming large picture gallery announced in the latter. Why not use the local search engines of this site, entering india as search term to find more?
Below is the invitation to the fair as I received it today:
