- Kalpana Raina on Translating Kashmiri Literary Icon Hari Krishna Kaul
Kalpana Raina on Translating Kashmiri Literary Icon Hari Krishna Kaul
Hari Krishna Kaul, one of the very best modern Kashmiri writers, published most of his work between 1972 and 2000. His short stories, shaped by the social crisis and political instability in Kashmir, explore – with an impressive eye for detail, biting wit, and deep empathy – themes of isolation, individual and collective alienation, corruption, and the social mores of a community that experienced a loss of homeland, culture, and language.
Read Kalpana Raina’s insights and experiences about translating Hari Krishna Kaul in For Now, It is Night.
