🌐 About​ Us

We are a collective of science fiction and fantasy lovers who believe that genre literature can inspire imagination, innovation, and dialogue. Our mission is to preserve, promote, and produce Indian SFF across all languages and cultures. Beginning with a focus on Bengali science fiction, our goal is eventually to build a pan-Indian network for SFF collaboration.

Why This Matters

In a country as multilingual and diverse as India, genre fiction often gets fragmented by language barriers. ISFFA is committed to bridging these gaps, archiving our past, nurturing our present, and shaping the future of Indian SFF.

🧭 Our Mission

Our mission is to build a vibrant, inclusive community that nurtures and promotes science fiction and fantasy across India’s many languages and cultures. We aim to bring together writers, publishers, readers, fans, and researchers under one collective platform where creativity, dialogue, and discovery can thrive. By starting with a focused initiative on Bengali science fiction, we are laying the groundwork for a broader, pan-Indian movement. Through archiving, workshops, conventions, and collaborative projects, we seek to preserve the rich legacy of Indian speculative fiction while also inspiring new generations of storytellers and thinkers.
