Preserving the Voices of South Asia
Welcome to LitCatalogue
LitCatalogue is a digital initiative dedicated to documenting, preserving, and celebrating the rich literary heritage of South Asia. In an era where digital archives are often fragmented, we aim to build a comprehensive repository that bridges the gap between classical literary traditions and the modern digital reader.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: To document South Asian writers across the globe.
From the poetic traditions of Urdu and the storytelling prowess of Bengali fiction to the diverse landscapes of Assamese and Hindi literature, South Asia is home to some of the world’s most profound literary voices. However, meaningful biographical data and critical analysis for many of these writers remain inaccessible or scattered.
LitCatalogue serves as a centralized platform for:
- Biographical Archives: Detailed profiles of poets, novelists, playwrights, and critics.
- Critical Essays: In-depth analysis of literary works, themes, and stylistic evolutions.
- Scholarly Resources: A curated space for students, researchers, and literature enthusiasts to discover the luminaries of the region.
What We Cover
Our catalogue is an ever-expanding library that transcends borders. While we have a strong foundation in Urdu, Bengali, and Assamese literature, our scope includes all major South Asian languages and English translations. We feature both established icons—like Lakshminath Bezbarua and Selina Hossain—and contemporary voices shaping the future of literature.
Join the Conversation
Literature is a dialogue, not a monologue. We invite scholars, students, and readers to explore our archives. Whether you are researching a specific author or looking to discover a new voice, LitCatalogue is your gateway to the literary soul of South Asia.
