CRITICAL-APPRECIATION CHAPTER · G17
Gajendra Thakur’s Kurukshetram Antarmanak
Uday Narayan Singh ‘Nachiketa’
Detailed description
Singh reads the seven-part collection as an experiment in bringing research, fiction, poetry, drama and children’s writing together under one author. He notices cultural range, political commentary and a creative voice distinct from the lexicographer’s technical persona. The book can be approached as a meta-text or a modern epic, but his praise is qualified: he finds uneven quality across its abundant material.
This is a signed contribution in the volume’s Gajendra Thakur, Videha and the wider literary-digital project strand. The page preserves the contributor’s attribution, the normalized chapter identity, the English-edition locator, and the paired Maithili/English repository manifestations so that the critical argument can be read in its book context rather than as an isolated quotation.
Source note. The source records publication on Videha’s WordPress version on 9 June 2009.
