The Hindu Literary Prize

       They're inviting submissions for the third annual The Hindu Literary Prize; see the pdf for the eligibility requirements; it appears you have until 15 August to submit.
       The Hindu Literary Prize "recognises and encourages Indian writing in English" and so, as I've mentioned previously, disappointingly: "Works in Indian languages and translations are not eligible" .....
       Okay, there are reasons to stick to one language -- and they seemed to be aware of the issue after last year's prize: see my mention, and recall these words:
The Selection Committee would also like to request The Hindu to have, from next year onwards at least, separate awards of equal value for fiction written in English and that translated from the languages of India so that both receive equal attention
       So I look forward to the announcement very soon of that separate award of equal value. Because they didn't forget or anything, did they ?
       Did they ?
