At Scroll.in Devapriya Roy suggests: 'The Sahitya Akademi awards are a handy way to discover fine literature from all the major Indian languages, and not just English', in Twenty-four Indian languages, 24 literary prizes that more people should know about -- listing this year's winners.
Of course, most people won't have even heard of many of these languages -- Bodo ? Dogri ? -- and unfortunately most of these titles are not available in English, but still, it's good to see they find at least some recognition and one hopes it might help at least get some of these translated.
(The Sahitya Akademi is the Indian National Academy of Letters.)
