Jaipur. The Association of Serbian Writers has nominated Indian author Dr Jernail Singh Anand as Honorary Member of the Association. This appointment gains significance in view of the fact that just around a century back, in November 1926, Indian Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore too received this honour.
Dr. Maja Herman Sekulic, the Serbian author, who was recently in Chandigarh to attend 4th International Literature Summit and World Poetry Conference disclosed that Nobel Laureates Ivo Andric, American poet Joseph Brodsky, British Playwright director and actor Harold Pinter, and Australian novelist, playwright, translator and film director Peter Handke are among those literary greats who received this Honour.
Dr Anand has authored more than 150 books in English poetry, fiction, non-fiction, spirituality and philosophy. He is credited with the theory of Biotext in critical theory. His work has been translated into more than twenty world languages. Author of 9 epics which are regarded as modern classics, Anand has organized 4 International Literary Conferences, latest of them, in Chandigarh where Serbian poet Dr Maja Herman Sekulic was the Conference Chair.
