When I restarted the international science fiction magazine InterNova in 2022 it was among my first activities to re-contact the Indian science fiction community and collected material for a theme issue on Indian science fiction. It was a long and tedious process to gather information, select suitable stories from dozens of submissions and especially to edit the translations (as the transition from Indian vernacular Indian languages to English is full of pitfalls). With the support of the Indian Science Fiction Writers’ Association and the Indian Association for Science Fiction Studies, however, I finally made it and the issue, including nine stories by seven – mostly female – writers and an informative survey article, has been launched today. The web version is available here and e-book versions in various formats will soon be linked in.
