INTRODUCTION
MatruAkshar, an International Journal of Indian Languages for Creative Literature, Translation, and Research (IJILCLTR) is an international peer-reviewed, online literary journal in Indian Languages published quarterly.
The etymology of MatruAkshar is derived from an Indian word which means the Language of Mother. MatruAkshar is an intuitive expression of wordless thoughts from Indian lingua franca to the global readers.
The journal intends to provide a platform for creative literary works and research of young literary enthusiasts writing in Indian languages around the globe, a medium of expression to enrich Indian languages and literature to spread peace and humanity.
