India is a land of many languages of which 23 are officially recognised. It is a land thus which has a very rich literature of its own. Unfortunately I have read very few gems of this treasure. Now, I have decided to explore this literature of India. Through the reading of texts either in the original or in translation, I intend to read at least one text from each language.
