Sujata Mody, a PhD candidate in the Department of South and Southeast

talk on the Hindi journal Sarasvati and its contributions to the development
of a modern literary genre, the Hindi short story, and a modern Indian
national identity. The material for this talk is taken from her dissertation,
titled “Sarasvati’s Sahitya: The Formation of Modern Hindi
Literature in an Early 20th Century Hindi Journal.”
