Desi Writing Blog
Vernacular Voices:
British South Asian Writing in Punjabi, Urdu, Gujarati and Bengali
Welcome
These blog posts are short pieces on aspects of the British Asian vernacular literary world. Writings in South Asian languages by authors who settled in the UK from the 1950s come in the form of poetry, short stories and occasionally novels. These authors are rarely known outside of the language communities and thus these posts give an insight into them and their writings as well as a general idea of publishing and publications in the literary formation.
