Krishna Sobti to receive 2017 Jnanpith, November 4, 2017: The Times of India
Renowned Hindi litterateur Krishna Sobti will be awarded this year's Jnanpith, the award's selection board announced.
Born in 1925, Sobti, 92, is known for experimenting with new writing styles and creating “bold“ and “daring“ characters. “Sobti is a path-breaking novelist. She has immensely enriched Hindi literature,“ the the Jnanpith selection board, chaired by noted scholar, writer and critic Namwar Singh, said in a statement.
Her choice of subjects ranges from Partition to relationships between men and womans. Her celebrated works include `Daar Se Bichhudi', `Mitro Marjani', and `Zindaginama'. Several have been translated to other Indian languages, as well as Swedish, Russian and English.
