Literary Culture in Meghalaya Extends Beyond Festivals and Glamour

Meghalaya Monitor published an editorial asserting that the literary scene in the state cannot be reduced to the spectacle of festivals and the allure of glamour. The piece calls for a broader recognition of the everyday practices that sustain literature, from local reading groups to the work of regional publishers. It stresses that genuine literary culture thrives on sustained engagement, critical discussion, and the nurturing of new voices, rather than on occasional high‑profile events. By highlighting this perspective, the outlet urges policymakers, educators, and the public to support continuous literary activities that enrich the community beyond the limelight of festivals.
