Modernist irony in Hindi literature

Perhaps the most influential figure in Hindi literary modernism -- Agyeya, Sacchidananda Vatsyayan

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sachchidananda_Vatsyayan

A superb edited volume about his contributions came out recently --

And several of his works are being translated into English currently, and should be out in the next two to three years.

He would be usable in high school surveys of global literary modernism ...
