Here are the winners of Sahitya Akademi Yuva Puraskar 2016

The Sahitya Akademi rewards authors annually for their literary contribution with outstanding books in all the major Indian languages.
Inspite of the controversy surrounding the Akademi during the intolerance row and #awardwapsi, it is still considered one of the most prestigious literary awards in India.
Last years the winners included Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar for her English novel The Mysterious Ailment of Rupi Bhaskey, and Indira Dangi for her Hindi novel Haveli Sanatanpur, among other regional writers.
The Sahitya Akademi tweeted its list of winners for 2016 on Thursday:
