The subjects taught under Humanities are yet to be given institutional support. The faculty, students and well wishers of Humanities subjects in India must come together and join hands for uplifting these subjects and dispel the murky ignorance attached to these subjects.Let us join and become member in the site www.marghumanities.org and debate the issues.people in Chennai are most welcome to create a kind of e-movement for saving Humanities.Digital Humanities , the New Age offshoots, will also help us.Let us debate and bring new life!!!

Jaipur Literature Festival(JLF) is one of the leading events in the world and one of the biggest festivals in the Asia-Pacific region.No people in Chennai takes an initiative to do one with the international flair here in Chennai. Kerala hosts Hay festival in the South.It needs to be popularized more. I am deeply brooding over CLF? Will it come to life in near future? Let's see.
