Economics seems to be as accurate as weather forecast.This category may be eliminated.
It seems only National Languages seem to be in the reckoning for Literature prize.Why not introduce for all Languages(translated, of course) say Indian Languages, like Telugu,Hindi,Tamil etc? Or is the category already in place?If so it is the best kept secret.
It is also pertinent to announce the practical or theoretical utility of prize winners’ contribution to their field, subsequent to their winning the prize
