Tento autor sa venuje kritickému mysleniu a postaveniu utláčaných komunít, najmä kmeňových a denotifikovaných kmeňov v Indii. Jeho práca skúma stret medzi tradíciou a modernitou a snaží sa zachovať a osláviť literatúru a ústne tradície týchto skupín. Ako literárny kritik a aktivista sa snaží dať hlas tým, ktorí boli znevážení, a skúma ich históriu, jazyky a pohľady prostredníctvom kritických esejí a literárnych antológií. Jeho prístup sa vyznačuje hlbokým pochopením kultúrnych nuáns a záväzkom k sociálnej spravodlivosti.

Vibha Telugu Pragatisheela Sahitya Gavaksham is part of the Dakshinayan Indian Thought series of books. This volume presents a selection of writings in Telugu by 89 authors from the thirteenth century CE to the present across various genres – poetry, song, novel, story and tract. The book attempts to explore the resonances and articulations across historical periods spanning over eight centuries of the ‘progressive–political’ in Telugu literature. This is an attempt to open a window into literary imaginations around questions that continue to preoccupy us egalitarianism, dignity, oppression, violence and resistance.
