Bilingualities: In Many Tongues | Akhil Katyal, Kunal Basu and Anukrti Upadhyay in conversation Tanuj Solanki | Presented by ABP Live

India is a multilingual nation, existing in a constant and ongoing state of translation. Four writers who express themselves with proficiency in more than one language in their literary pursuits speak of how they negotiate the distances between their mother tongues and learned languages, and how they communicate their creativity in both. While poet and academic Akhil Katyal’s writing and poetry straddles both Hindi and English, Kunal Basu feels no need to choose between English and Bangla, as both literary streams run concurrently within him. Anukrti Upadhyay’s work, which covers cultures as diverse as Rajasthan and Japan, is published in Hindi and English. Tanuj Solanki scales the binaries between his mother tongue, Hindi and the chosen language of expression, English. In a session of readings and conversation, they speak of their discipline, writing process, and the linguistic and literary worlds they carry within them.


Akhil Katyal is a Delhi based writer and translator who has authored Like Blood on the Bitten Tongue: Delhi Poems and How Many Countries Does the Indus Cross. He has also translated Ravish Kumar’s book of prose poems, Ishq Mein Shahar Hona as A City Happens in Love.

Born in Kolkata and educated in India and the United States, he lives in Oxford and Kolkata.
