The Literary Club of the Asiatic Society of Mumbai takes pleasure in inviting you to a talk on A “Luminous New Leaf”: Poetry and Modern Life in Bombay by the well-known journalist Supriya Nair, on Tuesday, 3rd January 2023 at 5 p.m. in the Durbar Hall of the Society.
Indian writing in English has a long history but one of its formal and emotional pinnacles was only reached less than a generation after Independence, with the poetry that began to beproduced by writers living and working in India. Rooted in Indian life, open to the world, the ambitious, profound and thoroughly modern work of some poets is an unusual and revealing emotional history about these poets and their time and place. Their words reveal how we ourselves were shaped by our cities, societies and our brand-new nation in an ever-changing world.
Supriya Nair is a senior journalist and editor based in Mumbai. She is co-founder of the digital publication Fifty-Two and the media company All Things Small. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Vogue and Wisden.
The lecture is an introduction to that history. Please join us for this fascinating presentation of an era that has not often been explored.
Tea will be served at 4.30 pm
- Meenal Kshirsagar, Vice President of the Society & Chairperson - ASM LitClub
- Prof. Mangala Sirdeshpande, Hon. Secretary, Asiatic Society of Mumbai

The Literary Club of the Asiatic Society of Mumbai
invites you to a talk on “Regional Journalism: Today and Tomorrow”
by Dr. Amrish Sinha to celebrate the bicentenary of Mumbai Samachar,
on Friday 29th July at 5 p.m. in the Durbar Hall
To celebrate the bicentenary of Mumbai Samachar, the Literary Club of the Asiatic Society of Mumbai is pleased to invite you for a talk by Dr. Amrish Sinha on “Regional Journalism: Today and Tomorrow” in the Durbar Hall on Friday 29th July at 5 p.m.
Mumbai Samachar is celebrating its bicentenary (1822-2022). It is the oldest daily newspaper in Asia which has been continuously published without a break.
This remarkable and unique achievement is a landmark event for journalism in regional languages in India and calls for celebration. But it also provides an occasion to review and reflect on the state of media and not only print and electronic but also digital media in different languages.
The present scenario needs to be better understood and steps need to be identified for the future. What better place to discuss all this than in the Durbar Hall of the Asiatic Society of Mumbai – which has been a close neighbour of the Bombay Samachar, also situated around Horniman Circle.
We are fortunate to have media expert Dr. Amrish Sinha deliver a talk on “Regional Journalism: Today and Tomorrow.” This will set the platform for the discussion to follow when several journalists and media professionals will also be present.
Please join us for tea at 4.30 pm.
