In a heartfelt gathering in New Delhi, 26 poets, performers, and academics came together to celebrate poetry as an act of resistance against war. The event, titled 'You are a poet,' was inspired by Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish's assertion that every beautiful poem is an act of resistance. Held in the home of artist Shumita Didi Sandhu, the gathering featured a cozy atmosphere adorned with blooming Daisy flowers. Veteran activist Syeda Hameed, president of the National Federation of Indian Women, recited a moving poem about a girl who loses her family in war. Other participants explored the theme of war and peace through their works, including references to the historical Karbala war. The event also highlighted cultural connections, with Iranian scholars participating and sharing the significance of shared language and heritage. The gathering concluded with a message of hope and peace, emphasizing the power of poetry to unite people in times of conflict.
