I Must Stand Guard Over My Home.

<p><i><b>'I Must Stand Guard Over My Home'.</b> </i>is a translation of indigenous Jharkhandi poetry delivering the undiluted voices of native poets into a global conversation.</p><p>These poems will unsettle you.</p><p>They will rouse you to question the demands to supplicate enforced patriotism.</p><p>Vanshika&rsquo;s passion for Anuj Lugun and Jacinta Kerketta&rsquo;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&rsquo;m thankful to her for taking these efforts to put together a small and lovely volume of their best poems.</p><p>-Meena Kandaswamy</p>
