Sahityam tho Sayantralu
A Discussion on Gurram Jashuva’s Literary Journey & Gabbilam
Telugu Collective presents the next edition of Sahityam tho Sayantralu, a three-hour literary discussion exploring the life, literary journey, and enduring relevance of Gurram Jashuva—one of Telugu literature’s most powerful and distinctive voices.
At the heart of the discussion is Gabbilam, Jashuva’s landmark work that uses the voice of a marginalised individual to question caste, social inequality, exclusion, and the structures of privilege. Through a close engagement with the text, we will explore its literary form, language, historical context, and the questions it continues to raise today.
The session is an opportunity to read Gabbilam beyond its familiar interpretations and understand Jashuva’s place in the broader history of Telugu literature.
