All India Progressive Writers' Association

The All India Progressive Writers' Association (AIPWA) is a prominent literary organization founded in 1936 in India. It was established to promote progressive and social literature, advocating for social justice, equality, and the rights of the marginalized. Members, including writers, poets, and intellectuals, aimed to challenge oppressive structures through their work. The association played a significant role in the literary and cultural movements in India, particularly during the independence struggle and post-colonial period, fostering a sense of social responsibility among writers and encouraging them to address contemporary social issues through their creative expressions.
