Among the classics is U R Ananatha Murthy’s Samskara, the furtive spiritual journey of a flawed priest.It captures the mood of a new cultural space. Believing that the inscriptions of a language are as much visual as aural, this multilingual text offers a tribute to the resonance of India’s multiple voices. Further, it encourages readers to recognize their own multilingual capabilities and actively engage with the regional work and its translation. While most of the selections from bhasa have been rendered here in English, as a unique experiment some reputed English writing has been specially translated into bhasa.Mahaswet
