Many renowned poets and authors moved from India to Pakistan following the split. This has led to the availability of a wealth of good literature in that nation. “You wish to decorate my room, there is nothing in my room except books!” is a couplet penned by renowned poet Jaun Elia. If a country’s poet were to recite such a couplet, you can only imagine how much its citizens would love to read and purchase books. But these days, reports from various accounts are going viral on social media, claiming that 800 plates of biryani were consumed during a recent book fair in Pakistan, while just 35 books were sold. Is this assertion true? Let’s know in detail here.
Social media was laughing a lot because news about Pakistan has been recently published on many X accounts. According to an article, only 35 volumes were sold during the most recent Lahore Book Fair (also known as the Lahore International Book Fair).

Reports of food items being sold more than books have generated a lot of discussion around the Internet. Not only Indians, but several sections of Pakistanis also ridiculed the scenario. A post about this occurrence was shared on X by Front Page Pakistan, a Pakistani account. Many individuals said it appeared like people had mistaken it for a food market rather than a book fair.
According to Aaj News, a Pakistani news outlet, this assertion has been debunked. The article claims that roughly two days ago, Pakistani actor Khalid Inam came across a social media post at the Lahore International Book Fair that made this assertion. His tweet went viral after he shared it on social media without verifying its veracity. Since then, this claim has been covered by numerous media outlets. In an interview with BBC Urdu, he claimed he does not vouch for the veracity of the post’s assertions. He also expressed regret for disseminating inaccurate information. These statements that are going viral on social media are untrue, according to this website analysis.
