  • Our primary objective is to cultivate a neutral, open, and reliable literary knowledge base.

2. Limitations Regarding Data Accuracy and Textual Variants

We make every effort to verify and publish each piece of data in our archive through authoritative primary and secondary sources.

  • No Express Warranties: Poetry Gurukul provides no legal guarantee that the information published on the website is completely error-free, 100% flawless, or exhaustive.
  • Correctability: Correcting errors, inconsistencies, or integrating newly revealed authoritative research is a natural, ongoing process of a living archive. Poetry Gurukul shall bear no legal liability for any unintended errors in text or data.

3. Intellectual Property and Copyright Policy (Fair Use)

‘Poetry Gurukul’ is an institutional digital repository. Intellectual property rights and legal copyrights regarding the literary works preserved here are treated with the utmost priority.

“Literary materials utilized for our archival purposes are governed by the principles of academic research, textual analysis, education, and cultural heritage preservation (Fair Use / Fair Dealing).”

  • No translation can serve as a complete substitute for the original primary text.
  • When rendering the artistic, rhythmic, and aesthetic essence of a poem into another language, minor nuances may shift. For academic research, scholars are always advised to rely on the primary printed text in its original language.
