| Submission declined on 22 May 2025 by Gheus (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

She is known for her work in translating Hindi literature into English, bringing attention to overlooked and avant-garde Hindi writers.[1] Deo is the co-founding editor of RIC Journal[2] and has contributed essays and translations to various literary and other publications.
Translation Work

Her translation of Bhuwaneshwar's short stories was published as Wolves and Other Stories in 2021.[3] It was shortlisted for the VoW Book Award in translation and was praised as marking a significant event in Hindi literature.[4] In 2023, she translated Rajkamal Chaudhary's Traces of Boots on Tongue and Other Stories.[5][6] These translations have been widely noted for opening up significant figures in Hindi literature to global readerships.[2][7] Her forthcoming translation of Alok Dhanwa's poetry collection, The World Is Made Up Every Day, is scheduled for publication in 2025.[8]
Writing and Editing
[edit]As a writer, Deo has contributed essays, articles, and fiction to publications such as Words Without Borders, Scroll.in,The Federal,Outlook India, and Kindle Magazine among others.

She is the co-founding editor of RIC Journal, an online literary journal that publishes experimental works and writing with avant-garde ethos. She also routinely collaborates on interdisciplinary research exploring understudied relationship between literature and medicine.[12][13]
