Language is a powerful means of decolonization and self-respect building. Translation as a potent tool of language works wonders in the process of resurrection of bruised national pride. Indian Literature written in so many colourful, lovely languages of India can be established with the proper use of translation. It is with this spirit the present anthology Indian Fiction in English Translation has been prepared. An attempt has been made to capture the essence, the smell, the taste of Indian soil by studying various important authors and their texts in detail. The book is of interest for all those who believe in the strength of the intellectual traditions of India.Table of Contents: 1. Literature, Fiction and Translation A.D.N. BAJPAI 2.
