K Satchidanandan(75) fondly remembers that moment in 1972 when a poem of his, The blind man who discovered the sun, appeared in the Sahitya Akademi’s bi-monthly journal, Indian Literature. He was a 26-year-old poet living in Kerala and writing primarily in Malayalam, and to be published by the Sahitya Akademi in New Delhi was a recognition at a national level he had been striving for. “Sahitya Akademi held a place of pride in the world of Indian literature. There was no comparable institution at that time,” said Satchidanandan. “Every Indian writer wanted to be connected to it in some way or the other.”
Two decades later, Satchidanandan got the opportunity to be the editor of the same journal. By then he was a leading modernist poet in Malayalam. He had also been a professor of English Literature at Christ College in Irinjalakuda for the last 25 years. The choice to move to Delhi, leaving behind the life and fame in Kerala, was a fearful one, he recounted. But then the prestige of being associated with the Sahitya Akademi, and editing a journal with such a wide readership, was alluring enough for Satchidanandan to take up voluntary retirement from his job and move to a life of what he calls ‘near anonymity’ in Delhi. “You would be surprised to know that the salary offered by the Sahitya Akademi then was less than that I was being paid by the college,” he said laughing. “But still this was an opportunity I was not willing to give up.” Read more
