The Rise Insight is delighted to extend heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Anupama Hariharan for her prestigious nomination in the TRI Literary Awards 2026, Season 04, under the category of Fiction, for her remarkable book “Beyond Labels: A Story of Love, Truth and Unlikely Allies.”
This nomination stands as a testament to Dr. Hariharan’s literary excellence, her courage in addressing pressing social issues, and her ability to weave stories that speak to both the heart and the conscience. As an author, she has consistently demonstrated the rare gift of merging poetic sensibility with an unflinching exploration of human realities.
About the Book: Beyond Labels
In “Beyond Labels,” Dr. Hariharan crafts a narrative that shines a light on marginalized voices, particularly those within the LGBTQIA+ community. The book delves deep into the complexities of human desires, struggles, and emotional truths while challenging societal perceptions and long-standing stigmas. With layered storytelling, the novel explores how lives interweave within a society that often struggles to extend acceptance and inclusivity.
What makes “Beyond Labels” exceptional is its ability to balance profound social commentary with deeply personal and emotional storytelling. It redefines what it means to be “normal” and invites readers to imagine a world free from bias, where inclusivity and compassion are the cornerstones of human interaction. By creating safe spaces within her narrative—where vulnerability becomes strength and where whispered or unspoken truths carry transformative power—Dr. Hariharan invites her readers not just to witness but also to empathize, reflect, and evolve.
About the Author: Dr. Anupama Hariharan
Dr. Anupama Hariharan is an accomplished author and poet whose literary works embody empathy, resilience, and a fearless dedication to truth. Known also for her earlier work “Embers of My Soul,” which earned her the distinguished title of “21st Century Emily Dickinson,” she has established herself as a significant contemporary voice in literature.
A dentist by profession and a project management professional, Dr. Hariharan is equally committed to social causes, particularly those centered on women and inclusivity. Her passion for literature stems from her belief that writing is the doorway to unspoken emotions and experiences, and that words hold the power to shape humanity itself.
