'I Must Stand Guard Over My Home'. is a translation of indigenous Jharkhandi poetry, delivering the undiluted voices of native poets into a global conversation.
These poems will unsettle you.
They will rouse you to question the demands to supplicate enforced patriotism.
Vanshika’s passion for Anuj Lugun and Jacinta Kerketta’s work is evident in her dedication to preserving their authenticity and amplifying their voices to a wider audience. Her skilful and nuanced translations have done justice to the words of Anuj Lagan and Jacinta Kerketta. I’m thankful to her for taking these efforts to put together a small and lovely volume of their best poems.

Vanshika Khaitan
Vanshika Khaitan is a high school student who writes with a purpose: to capture the voices that slip through the cracks, to stand guard over stories that matter. Already the author of a published poetry anthology, she sees writing as more than expression; it’s a duty, a means to amplify what often goes unheard. Her work is rooted in a words carry weight, that each line has the power to hold a world, and that even the quietest voices deserve to echo.
