Gulzar and Jagadguru Rambhadracharya Awarded Prestigious Jnanpith Award 2023

• The Jnanpith Award, India’s most prestigious literary accolade, has announced its recipients for the year 2023, marking a momentous occasion in the annals of Indian literature. 
• This year, the honour is bestowed upon two luminaries from the world of letters: celebrated Urdu poet and Bollywood personality Gulzar, and the distinguished Sanskrit scholar and spiritual leader Jagadguru Rambhadracharya. 
• Their selection for the 58th edition of the award underscores the rich diversity and depth of Indian literary traditions, spanning the classical to the contemporary.
• Gulzar’s directorial ventures such as “Koshish,” “Parichay,” and “Mausam,” among others, are considered classics. His creation of the ‘Triveni,’ a unique genre of non-rhyming three-line poetry, and his focus on children’s poetry in recent years, highlight his innovative spirit and versatility.
• A polyglot fluent in 22 languages, Rambhadracharya’s influence extends across linguistic and sectarian boundaries, embodying the universal appeal of Indian spiritual and literary traditions.
