The writers will read from and discuss their writings and participate in writing workshops with Yale students enrolled in Hindi on April 3, 10 a.m.-3 p.m., in the Whitney Humanities Center, 53 Wall St.
"Sahitya Goshthhi" is convened by Seema Khurana, Hindi lector in the Department of Linguistics and the South Asian Studies Council. It is sponsored by the Rustgi Family Fund and the Edward J. and Dorothy Clarke Kempf Fund with support from the South Asian Studies Council, Calhoun College and the Yale Center for International and Area Studies.
All events are open to the public and the Yale community. Registration is free, but required by contacting the South Asian Studies Council at south.asia@yale.edu or (203) 432.9343. A complete schedule of the activities is available at www.yale.edu/ycias/southasia/events/hindi_lit.htm.
Hindi has been taught at Yale since 1999, and currently Yale offers year-long language courses in Hindi at the beginning and intermediate levels and a semester-long advanced literature course. Beginning next year, it will be one of three South Asian languages taught at Yale. The University has offered courses in Sanskrit since the 1840s, and Tamil will be added to the curriculum in 2004.
