The NIF Community

The NIF Community is a vibrant space that brings together scholars, Fellows, writers, translators, and readers from across the world who are engaged with exploring of modern India.

It serves as a living archive and public engagement platform that reflects the intellectual spirit and diverse voices of the New India Foundation. Through curated conversations, Fellow reflections, immersive sessions at retreats, and thought-provoking articles, this space captures the pulse of contemporary research and dialogue on India’s political, cultural, and literary landscape.

From book launches to panel discussions, language and translation dialogues, and reflections from the field — the NIF Community is where ideas continue to grow beyond the page. Dive in to hear from our fellows, explore language scholarship, engage with events from the Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay Book Prize, and explore the evolving ideas that define modern India.
