In this episode of the Sanskaari Girls Podcast, Vandita Morarka speaks with linguist, technologist, and translator Sowmya V. B. about the art and politics of translation. Through the lens of her work on The Hunger that Moved a Goddess, Sowmya reflects on what it means to carry meaning, rhythm, and emotion across languages.

Sowmya runs pustakam.net, a bi-lingual website with reviews of novels and films, short stories and interviews of famous Indian and global personalities; read her translated work here, here, here, and here, and follow her work with ‘Sowmya Writes….on Everything She Wants to’.

🎙️ The Sanskaari Girls Podcast is a podcast by the Sanskaari Girls Book Club (SGBC), a South Asian feminist reading community fostering critical engagement with literature, amplifying marginal voices, and building reflective, politically conscious conversations.
