AIPWA – All India Progressive Writers Association
manifesto published in the Indian Journal Hans in October 1935, the declared duty of Indian writers is to give expression to
"existent changes in Indian life and [... ] assist in putting the country on the path of construction and progress.:"
The writers also determined to break what they call the monopolistic control "of priests, pundits and other conservatives over literature and art and "to bring these art forms nearer the people."
Further, "they should be made to reflect life and reality so that [they] may be able to light [their] future."
The manifesto also resolves to "comment pitilessly on the decadent aspects of [their] country."
The version of this manifesto published in the Left Review
" ... we shall criticize ruthlessly in all its political, economic and cultural aspects, the spirit of reaction in our country; and we shall foster through interpretive and creative works (both native and foreign resources) everything that will lead our country to the new life for which it is striving.?"
