आज री राजस्थानी कवितावाँ एक कानी तो आपरी धरती री परंपरावा सूं कट्योडी है अर दूजै कानी वा हाल आपरी न्यारी पीछाण भी नीं बना पाई है। इण पोथी में गेली करयोड़ी आज री कवितावाँ इण साचनै तो उजागर करसी ही पण आपरै विसय अर बरवाण री विविधता नै भी सामरत करसी।

'वचन' एउटा सामाजिक उपन्यास हो। 'वचन' मा सजीवता छ, वास्तविकता छ औ छ स्वाभाविकता का साथै सभ्यता को छाप! कृत्रिम भाव काँहीं देखिदैन। पुस्तक पढ़दा त्यसमा लेखिएका पात्र-पात्रीहरु तथा भाव एकदम सजीव जस्ता देखिन्छन्।

Chaso, short for Chaganti Somayajulu, was born in 1915 in Srikakulam and spent most of his life in Vizianagaram. He began his literary journey as a poet in English and later in Telugu. He was also an essayist and wrote one play. However, his true passion was the short story, which he considered a lyrical poem. His first short story, 'Chinnaaji,' published in 1942, was critically acclaimed, and by 1945 he was recognised as a leading figure and master of the genre. He set high standards for himself and, throughout a life dedicated to literature, published only about 50 stories. He was the first Telugu writer to incorporate Marxist ideas into short stories, though his stories are notably free of rhetoric. His narratives often portray the raw lives of the poor and the very poor, characterised by brevity, reticence, and compression. He was a founding member of the Progressive Writers Association. An atheist, Chaso willed his body for medical research, which his family honoured after his death in 1994.

Women’s voices no longer solely portray confinement to kitchens and backyards or victimhood. Instead, they emphasise unseen restrictions faced by individuals and significant barriers within global contexts. This collection of twenty-nine short stories covers diverse themes, complex narratives, unique characters, inventive metaphors, and alternative viewpoints. All stories aim for a just and equitable world. Key topics include Dalit, minority, and tribal issues, farmers’ struggles, new forms of exploitation in high-tech sectors under Globalisation, and existential questions, which are central to these women's writings. Over a dozen passionate translators helped bring these stories to English-speaking readers. The shift of women from victims to survivors to saviours would be even more impactful if men and women worked together to build a casteless, classless, environmentally mindful society- an aspiration our writers share.

The dialects and languages spoken by tribals in India are very large in number. The literary compositions in most of them have survived in oral form though some tribal languages have taken to writing as means of recording literary compositions. Conventionally, they have been perceived as mere anthropological curiosity, or at best a source for oral history. They have rarely been translated into English or an Indian language as a representation of tribal imagination. In order to meet the long felt need for brining out a systematic series of India's tribal literature, sahitya Akademi has established a project of Indian Literature in Tribal Languages and Oral Traditions.

Oorabavi and Other Stories is a collection of Kolakaluri Enoch’s short stories on the life in rural India, predominantly the life of Dalits. Life in rural India revolves around the village well and water sharing, caste domination and operation by dominant castes. Enoch tried tackling the problem way back in 1969 through successful resistance and reclamation of water as a right by the marginalized in a village. The volume while successfully defining and giving concrete reality to rooted institutions of caste in India, it also brilliantly recreates suppressed and silenced histories of men and women of various caste occupations- cobbler, scavengers, barbers, washer men, and actors in street plays, beside sensitive portrayal of village youth small time workers in hotels etc. The narrative ranges between exploitation and revenge, hunger and vulnerability, oppression and submission, conscience and need, rebellion and resistance, deprivation and triumph.
