About us
Manasa Publications was founded to nurture and amplify women-centric literary works, bridging cultures through translation and offering readers a glimpse into the richness of women’s storytelling across India. Our mission is to reclaim forgotten and suppressed voices of women, illuminating their stories across cultural, linguistic, and gendered frontiers. At the heart of this endeavor is a focus on the aesthetic and philosophical dimensions of human life, exploring deeper truths that connect us all. It is a less ego-centric, more empathetic vision, where the woman’s voice is not an anomaly but the prevailing narrative. This is why Manasa, the serpent deity, stands as our emblem—her fluidity, her transformative energy, and her boundless creativity will guide and inspire us in this endeavor.
