All India Progressive Writers' Movement

The All India Progressive Writers' Movement, founded in 1936, was a literary and cultural organization in India that aimed to promote progressive and socially conscious writing. Comprising writers, poets, and thinkers, it sought to challenge traditional norms, address social issues like inequality, and foster unity among diverse communities. Influenced by socialist ideas and international progressive thought, the movement emphasized literature's role in social reform and the fight against oppression. It played a significant role in shaping modern Indian literature and fostering a spirit of social awareness and activism among writers across the country.
