Punjab’s Amrita Pritam, the first woman writer across all Indian languages to win the Sahitya Akademi Award, is celebrated in a new book titled “Amrita Pritam: The Writer Provocateur.” The book, edited by Hina Nandrajog and the late Prem Kumari Srivastava, explores her influential writings and the challenges she faced as a woman in a patriarchal society. It includes select poems, fiction excerpts, and articles by scholars, offering fresh insights into her work. The book also features a conversation with actor Deepti Naval, who played Pritam in a play called “Ek Mulaqat.”
