Anusha Rao (New York University) and Suhas Mahesh (Independent Translator)
A conversation about classical poetry in translation.
Anusha Rao currently teaches South Asian Religions at New York University. She holds a PhD in Sanskrit intellectual traditions from the University of Toronto. Alongside her academic research, she writes short, sharp essays where classical Sanskrit meets everyday life.
Suhas Mahesh is a scholar of Sanskrit and Indian literature—and, by day, a materials physicist with a doctorate from the University of Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. Suhas brings a scientist’s precision to the pleasures of Sanskrit verse.
