Namaste! Welcome to the newest collection by PPI.

This collection is dedicated to all of you brilliant minds of New India. This is a collection of, by and for the Indian pubbers, just like our country.

Over the recent past, India has grown as an economy and has gained worldwide recognition. We, as a country, have a large population of youth. This helps us get an advantage over the others. So, why not use that here too? :)

De Novo India is a comeback collection, and will feature poems about the New India we all know. Let's celebrate the youth and highlight issues pertinent to the Indian community.

We hope that this collection will act as an opportunity for young Indian pubbers to showcase their talent, as well as mingle with the rest of your fellow brethren. After all, India is a vast country, ranging from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, and you might make friends from across states!

With this, we open this collection to the brilliant, talented young minds of Bharat.

Here is how it works:

1. Send us your poem about India as you know now, or any random thoughts on it. You can also send in any random poem, for you pubbers also represent a new India. Please dm us your entry in the format given below. No entries will be accepted if sent elsewhere.

2. All poems must have the following format when submitted.

Collection:  the collection name
Screen name:  your screen name 
Title:  the poem's title
Poem:  the poem itself

3. The poem can be an existing piece of work, as long as it's not plagiarized. We only accept original works.

4. Your poem can be of any language or dialect. It'd be wonderful if you can provide a translation too in that case, but that's not mandatory.

5. Feel free to leave constructive criticism on your fellow pubbers' works. But, spreading hate or starting fights related to political, religious, social issues etc WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. If found doing so, your entry and comments will be deleted.

6. If the poem is about a sensitive issue, kindly attach a note so that we can mark it so.

7. Please feel free to tag 3 of your friends whom you feel would be delighted to join our Pub.

Lastly, remember that you're in a space free of ego and judgment. Poets Pub India is a place for all poets. Hence, stick to being a poet first. We already have politicians to do the catfights. Let's keep this place a healthy place for all.

Encourage others. Inspire others.

Let's get started! Show us the New India.

Any questions, please ask. For more details, you can visit 'Behind the Bar guidelines'.

Jai Hind!
