Shabdotsav Transforms: From Book Fair Stage to Grand Nationalist Movement

• Shabdotsav, an ideological platform promoting national narrative, grew from a small Delhi Book Fair stage to a grand event in 2026.
• Organized by Delhi Government and Suruchi Prakashan, the 2026 event at Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium focused on 'Bharat Abhyuday'.
• Speakers like CM Rekha Gupta, Kapil Mishra, Sunil Ambekar, and Pushkar Singh Dhami discussed patriotism, Hindutva, and Indianization of the Constitution.
• The event engaged youth through cultural performances, open mics, and discussions, countering divisive narratives with positive nationalism.
• It challenged colonial historiography, reclaiming Sanatan heritage, and emerged as a strong alternative to mainstream literary festivals.

Why It Matters: Shabdotsav has evolved into a powerful movement, mainstreaming the national ideology and uniting youth.
