The launch was followed by a deeply engaging discussion on interfaith dialogue. We are immensely grateful to our esteemed guests and authors.

Dr Hafeezur Rahman, convener of the Foundation, told Awaz-the Voice their books serve a niche readership of opinion makers, researchers and students.

Professor Dr. Umair Manzar of Maulana Azad Urdu University said that after reaching the stall of Khusro Foundation on the occasion of the World Book Fair, I realized that Khusro Foundation has made a very good effort to promote the cultural, scientific, linguistic and literary tradition of India and in this context, the books published here should be seen that on the one hand, while an attempt has been made to promote dialogues between literature, civilization and culture, on the other hand, an attempt is being made to establish a tradition of reflection and contemplation on certain topics from religious perspectives.

Not only are the topics established by Khusro Foundation being viewed with great attention and consideration, but there is also a great demand for these books. The names of some of the books published here are as follows: Muslim scholars' study of Hindu Dharma, Mere Watan Ki Khushboo, Tiranga Aanchal, Hajj Guide, Muhammad Dara Shikoh and Hindustan with regard to Urdu poetry.
