"What holds the sculpture and the sculptor tightly together is the common yearning to see, and a restlessness to reach out to the sky. The act of seeing became, in the artist’s own perception, the leitmotif of her journey through life."

At the 1949 convocation ceremony of Bengal Technical Institute, Jadavpur, the then Chief Minister of West Bengal, Dr. B. C. Roy, conferred degrees upon the graduating students.
Founded on 25 July 1906, the institute later became Jadavpur University on 24 December 1955.

'And everyone here knows her':
Arvind Krishna Merhotra's evocative poem on readers at the Bharati Bhavan Library, among them a young Francesca Orsini.
Jadavpur University Press retweeted
Few have shaped our understanding of Hindi and North Indian literary cultures like Francesca Orsini. To know she’s been denied entry into the country she’s written about with such love and rigour feels deeply wrong.
Jadavpur University Press retweeted
Francesca Orsini has done more for Hindi than many so called lovers of Hindi. To not allow entry to a true lover of languages and literatures of this region, someone who has always told its stories with care, is deeply concerning and heartbreaking.

"If publishers don’t seek to understand the fragile economics of running a small independent—and the risks taken by brave, entrepreneurial and creative individuals— and use imagination to invest in allowing those bookshops to thrive commercially, then we are in big trouble."
"Bricks-and-mortar stores have proved their worth, particularly since the pandemic, but publishers need to do more to aid the sector" 👇 thebookseller.com/comment/bo…

A little more than a month ago, I started researching on Japanese lit available in Indian translations & stumbled upon some stunning works in Bengali, Malayalam and Marathi by esteemed translators like Prof Abhijit Mukherjee (JU), Prof PA George (JNU), Prof Nissim Bedekar (EFLU).
