The essays in this collection span a period of fifteen years, from 2008 to 2023, and were originally presented at various national and international academic seminars. While these essays do not revolve around a single theme, they share a unifying thread: the singular perspective from which they originate. From ancient texts to modern Hindi literature, this collection offers a sweeping, vivid, and engaging literary panorama.
Seminar papers often serve as focused explorations-like arrows aimed at specific goals, leaving little room for deviation or broader exploration. Presented here in their original form, these essays aim to inspire a reexamination of established beliefs. Modest though they may be, they seek to illuminate both the familiar and the overlooked corners of the literary landscape.
