Alternative Writing
India's experimental and avant garde counterculture is symbolized in the Prakalpana Movement. During the last four decades this bilingual literary movement has included Richard Kostelanetz, John M. Bennett, Don Webb, Sheila Murphy and many others worldwide and their Indian couterparts. Vattacharja Chandan is a central figure who contrived the movement. Prakalpana fiction is a fusion of prose, poetry, play, essay, and pictures. An example of a Prakalpana work is Chandan's bilingual Cosmosphere 1 (2011).
Some bilingual writers have also made significant contributions, such as Paigham Afaqui with his novel Makaan in 1989.

It was published on 28th March, 2010. The title of this book is grammatically correct and makes a sense about the theme of the book.
