ACK (Arts Council Korea) http://www.arko.or.kr
Supported by
Indian Embassy to Korea, Korean Embassy to India (yet to confirm)
Objective
Despite the fact that social and political aspect of literature has long been raison d'etre of modern literature, the recent Korean literature adverts from politics and social engagement. It could also be said that being apolitical is political in nature. Discussions on the political aspect of literature would provide opportunities to better understand not only the writings in India and Korea, but also their socio-politics.
