'Mozhi' is a space between languages that enables meaningful conversations about literature from all parts of India. Regional literary voices often remain unheard outside their language boundaries.
Through translations and thoughtful discourse, Mozhi hopes to spotlight significant voices across Indian languages. Here's an exciting collection of stories translated from Tamil, marking the first edition of Mozhi’s journey across Indian languages.

“A well-curated collection of stories in Tamil, many of which I hadn’t read before. I had the pleasure of experiencing, as a reader, the ethos, milieu and registers of a familiar culture ably transported into another language.” ~ N Kalyan Raman, Tamil-English translator
“I was very impressed with the range of stories chosen and the brilliance of so many of the translations…The act of translation is both a privilege and a labour of love, and perhaps ever more urgent in the times we live in.” ~ Deepa Bhasthi, Kannada-English translator
“The Mozhi Prize...is an excellent initiative and needs to be encouraged.” ~ A Muttulingam, Tamil writer
Reviews
As an inveterate bookworm rediscovering my tamil literature roots through english language translations by Tamilians living in India am most grateful to your First Anthology - simply loved the resonance/rasa of the tamil language that most translators brought forth in their translation
