Get ready to witness her mesmerising performance on 14 November in Oslo, as Anwesa Mahanta, a Sattriya dancer and scholar, brings the richness and beauty of the classical dance to the stage.
An evening celebrating the timeless elegance of Indian culture and artistic expression.

कभी मेरे पास
शब्द नहीं हुआ करते थे
यों ही कुछ कच्चे सपने और
कुछ ओस की बूंदें चमका करतीं
नहीं, कभी नहीं कह पायी तुमसे - उस सबको
जिन्हें न कोई सन्दर्भ दे पायी
न कोई नाम।

HAPPY DIWALI! ✨
May the festival of lights illuminate our lives with knowledge, courage, creativity and compassion.
As we celebrate the triumph of light over darkness, we also celebrate the extraordinary legacy of Dr. Prabha Khaitan — a pioneering litterateur, entrepreneur, philanthropist and feminist who dared to challenge conventions and championed women's empowerment through education, literature and independent thought.
Her words remind us:
“मूल रूप से स्त्री ही चाहती है ज्ञान और स्वतंत्रता।”
May her ideas continue to inspire generations, her literary legacy illuminate young minds, and her vision of an enlightened, inclusive society shine ever brighter.
Wishing everyone a joyful, prosperous and luminous Diwali!
Let knowledge be our light, compassion our strength and freedom our guiding star. 🪔

मिलने को बढ़े हुए हाथ
मित्र कहने को
खुले ओंठ
आँखों में तैरते हुए स्वप्नों को
नोच कर फेंक देना
हर मोड़ पर वापस
अन्धी गली की ओर मुड़ना
समझौता अपने आप से
और सबसे
उन सारे स्थापित सत्यों से;
कहीं अनजाने ही
हम एक बिकाऊ सामान न बन जायें।

À la belle occasion de Diwali, la Fête des Lumières, nous célébrons les valeurs de la connaissance, de la liberté, de l’espoir et de la compassion.
Alors que la Prabha Khaitan Foundation continue de tisser des liens culturels entre l’Inde et la France à travers la littérature, l’art et les échanges culturels, cette fête est aussi l’occasion de célébrer l’amitié et l’esprit culturel partagé qui rapprochent nos communautés.
En nous souvenant des paroles inspirantes du Dr Prabha Khaitan :
« Au fond du cœur, chaque femme cherche la connaissance et la liberté. »
Que sa vision de la connaissance, de l’illumination et de la liberté continue de nous inspirer tous.
Une très spéciale salutation de Diwali au peuple de France et à la communauté indienne vivant en France. Que cette fête apporte bonheur, paix, prospérité et nouveaux départs à chaque foyer.
Que la connaissance soit notre lumière, la culture notre pont, la compassion notre force et l’amitié notre étoile guide. ✨
Lors de sa récente visite en France, M. Sundeep Bhutoria a eu le privilège de se rendre au Sénat français et de rencontrer la sénatrice Sophie Briante Guillemont. Il lui a offert un exemplaire du Gitanjali de Rabindranath Tagore, renforçant ainsi les liens culturels et littéraires entre l’Inde et la France.

Dr. Prabha Khaitan @PrabhaKhaitan ji — a woman who dared to define her own path, questioned conventions and made her presence felt through her intellect, enterprise, literary expression and commitment to society.
An eminent Hindi litterateur, novelist, poet, entrepreneur, philanthropist and pioneering feminist, she was a multifaceted personality who broke barriers at a time when opportunities for women in business and public life were limited. She established herself as a successful entrepreneur and became the first woman President of the Calcutta Chamber of Commerce. Her acclaimed autobiography, Anya Se Ananya, offered a deeply personal and courageous account of a woman’s journey towards independence and identity.
Beyond her individual achievements, she envisioned an enduring platform for ideas, creativity and social change through the Prabha Khaitan Foundation, which she established in the early 1980s. Her philosophy, “Karm Hi Jeevan Hai” (Work is Life), remains central to the Foundation’s commitment to literature, arts, culture, education and women’s empowerment.
Over the years, @FoundationPK has made a significant mark through its literary initiatives, book launches and intellectual conversations across India and internationally, featuring eminent authors and dignitaries.
These initiatives reflect the Foundation’s continued commitment to promoting literature and encouraging meaningful intellectual and cultural exchanges.
A special and heartfelt appreciation to Shri Sundeep Bhutoria @sundeepbhutoria for his sustained dedication to preserving and advancing her vision. His efforts have helped translate her ideals into a continuing movement of literary, cultural and social engagement. By creating platforms that bring together distinguished writers, thinkers, artists and people from diverse walks of life, he has ensured that the Foundation’s work continues to evolve while remaining rooted in its founder’s philosophy. His commitment to taking these initiatives across India and beyond is a meaningful contribution to keeping her legacy alive.
My appreciation also extends to the entire Prabha Khaitan Foundation family and Ehsaas Women, whose continued efforts and participation strengthen this shared commitment to literature, culture, meaningful conversations and social engagement.
A life that challenged conventions, a mind that gave expression to new ideas and a vision that continues to inspire action. The true measure of a legacy lies not merely in how it is remembered, but in how it continues to touch lives. That is the enduring significance of Dr. Prabha Khaitan ji.
