Imphal, September 10 2012:
A two-day workshop on 'Criticism of Poetry with special reference to Manipuri Poetry" was kicked off today at 1st MR banquet hall under the joint aegis of Cultural Forum, Manipur and Sahitya Akademi.
Addressing the workshop, Sahitya Akademi Manipuri Advisory Board convenor N Khagendra said that literature, society and mankind cannot be separated.
There cannot be any disconnect between writers and realities of the society.
It is generally accepted that literature is mirror of the society.
One can understand a society by reading and analysing its literature, he added.
Khagendra also released a book titled Ritu.
Apart from many scholars, Cultural Forum Manipur president S Chauba was also present at the workshop.
