On 26th April 2026, I had the honour of receiving the Bharati Award for Best Writer conferred by Vijaya Bharatham Weekly. The recognition is deeply meaningful to me, as it comes from a platform committed to the preservation and promotion of Bharatiya thought, culture, and intellectual traditions.
This award is not merely a personal milestone, but also an encouragement for continued work in the fields of history, Itihāsa studies, and civilizational discourse. Writing, for me, has always been a journey of inquiry — an effort to revisit inherited narratives, challenge assumptions, and present evidence-based perspectives rooted in the textual traditions of Bhārata.
I express my heartfelt gratitude to Vijaya Bharatham Weekly, the organisers, readers, well-wishers, and all those who have supported my work over the years. I dedicate this honour to the seekers of truth and to the timeless literary and spiritual heritage of our civilization.
May this recognition inspire even greater commitment towards meaningful scholarship and writing in the years ahead.
