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.
