Dakshin Dialogues 2023

Dakshin Dialogues is South First‘s annual thought conclave that brings together South India’s biggest political and judicial minds, and social activists, on one stage.

While federalism was the primary theme of last year’s event, it was the core of each session this year, too, as South First continues to focus on the other half of the India story.

Dakshin Dialogues 2023 saw the likes of DK Shivakumar, Shashi Tharoor, Vidadala Rajini, Khushbu Sundar, Palanivel Thiaga Rajan, Dinesh Gundu Rao, and many others, discussing delimitation, the Southern model of governance, and so much more.
