The Science Fiction in India blog reports on a workshop held in Lucknow during December. Amongst the things mentioned is as follows:
Indian sf fandom proposed Anil Menon to be the Brand Ambassador of Indian science fiction and the proposal was unanimously accepted with thunderous applause.
It is great to see another country busily promoting its local SF talent. I’m still hoping that I’ll live long enough to go to a Worldcon in India, though I appreciate that’s a long way off. Anil, if I can help in any way, let me know.
That’s awesome news! The SF in India blog is fairly new, isn’t it? It’s crazy how much more Indian science fiction and other speculative lit/film is reaching the global market even in the last two or three years.
Thanks for posting this, Cheryl.
It’s relatively new, I think. I try to keep up, but very much hope that soon I won’t be able to because there’s so much material.
