  5. Author Bios - Sahitya Akademi
    • This is a bunch of docs scraped from Sahitya Akademi that are detailed bios of some Indian authors. Most of them are from the time period 2006-09. The docs were merged. Archive.org should do OCR on it, which hopefully gives usable strings of text that can be used as sources on wikipedia. Want to make detailed bios of Indian authors available to the public, which can potentially serve as valuable resources for researchers, students, and readers. -Sahitya Akademi Author Bios Sahitya Akademi Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming Internet Archive - archive.org
