CRITICAL-APPRECIATION CHAPTER · G29
Interview of Gajendra Thakur
Ashish Anchinhaar, interviewer; Gajendra Thakur, respondent
Detailed description
This email interview revisits the earlier conversation in light of new Panji and internet assessments. Questions address institutions, writing volume, criticism, editorial participation and the parallel literary stream. Thakur resists judging quality by age or quantity and describes consistency across work and life as important. The closing exchange disputes the classification of a literary event; it is an interviewee’s contested account, not an independently adjudicated history.
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 heading explicitly credits Ashish Anchinhaar with conducting the interview by email.
