ICF member, Munawar Memon, said that the diversity of languages in Pakistan is something we all cherish and take pride in. We are passionate about speaking these languages and promoting them further. In this spirit, the Indus Cultural Forum organizes an annual literary festival celebrating the richness of these native languages.

This day recognizes the importance of our native languages in shaping our identity, connecting us to our culture, and expressing ourselves freely.
