It looked like an impossible dream at the outset. A translation journal of Assamese literature and culture in English! A project with an absolutely nil commercial potentials! But we thought a dream that is not tempered in the anvil of reality would always remain a wistful dream. And Assamese literature & cultural would remain unknown to the outside world. So we decided to proceed.

The Belief :

We always believed that we have really something to present – to showcase from the world of Arts in Assam.

The Mission :

The Mission that was born out of this belief is-

To present before the nation and the world the treasure of contemporary Assamese literature in English Translation;

To popularise Assamese writing and writers in the National scene;

To build bridges of friendship and understanding between people, places, languages, cultures and generations

‘This is a mission of light and beauty. Be a part of it.’
