Assam Government's Multilingual Bhupen Hazarika Biography Faces Printing and Distribution Delays
An Assam government initiative to publish a biography of Bharat Ratna Bhupen Hazarika in 22 Indian languages has faced delays in printing and distribution more than a year after its launch by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in September 2025. Translators report waiting for copies of their translated editions, with some expressing frustration. The Publication Board Assam stated that sufficient copies will be printed in 2027 for free library distribution across states. The book was originally written in Assamese and translated into 21 other languages.
