Beena Devi

Bhagavathula Tripura Sundaramma (1935) and Bhagavatula Narasingarao (1924) started writing together under the pen name Beena Devi in the year 1965. Recipients of the prestigious Telugu Sahitya Akademi Award in 1972, their poignant introspection of the lives of the marginalised, their unpretentious writing style, focus on unethical practices in the society, family dynamics, gender roles and social barriers, made their narratives realistic. In 2011, MaNaSu Foundation, Bangalore, published Beena Devi’s collection of short stories and essays under the title Beena Devi Samagra Rachanalu.
