AKSHAR


The word AKSHAR in Sanskrit not only means the letter or the alphabet but also describes the smallest unit that cannot be destroyed. Thus AKSHAR is a wonderful symbol of faith in language and its elementary power, and is an appropriate name for the Indo-German Writers in Residence project.
