Abstract

Translations of fiction are always something to look forward to: for they can mean encounters with new images, metaphors and sensibilities. The work of English translation from Indian languages assumes an added political significance at a time when large numbers of Indians can read only in English and enjoy only a colloquial hold over Ind­ian languages. The institutional consequences of the rise of a dominant class of deracinated Indians are of course yet to be properly understood.
