The theme of the sixth edition is ‘Precolonial India’s Treasure House of Literatures’. It is centred on the fact that India is renowned the world over for its rich literature dating back to several millennia. The precolonial India not only had a great diversity of languages, from pan-Indian Sanskrit to hundreds of regional languages, but it also encompasses a plethora of themes, literary techniques and sociocultural functions. This “literaturescape” deeply impacted the Indian continent at all levels and was highly instrumental in the shaping Indian civilisation. 

IIT Gandhinagar in its official assertion said, “The precolonial India not solely had an ideal variety of languages, from pan-Indian Sanskrit to tons of regional languages, but it surely additionally encompasses a plethora of themes, literary methods, and sociocultural capabilities. This “literaturescape” deeply impacted the Indian continent in any respect ranges and was extremely instrumental within the shaping Indian civilisation”.
