Few have shaped our understanding of Hindi and North Indian literary cultures like Francesca Orsini. To know she’s been denied entry into the country she’s written about with such love and rigour feels deeply wrong.

Francesca Orsini's scholarship has greatly enriched Hindi literary studies and history of the book in India. She is a renowned scholar published worldwide in English and in Hindi. She has just been denied entry into India, with no reason given.

Francesca Orsini has done more for Hindi than many so called lovers of Hindi. To not allow entry to a true lover of languages and literatures of this region, someone who has always told its stories with care, is deeply concerning and heartbreaking.
