Imagining Indian Literature: Towards a Historiography of Translation
Imagining Indian Literature: Towards a Historiography of Translation MRINMOY PRAMANICK Research question what this paper tries to address is the role of translation in imagining nation and national literature in Indian context from a bhasha perspective. This paper argues that a partial history of literary translation can be proposed from the act of imagining national literature in a certain language. Research in this subject concerns on the history of literary translation by the government and non-government publishing houses, academic disciplines and academic activities like seminar, conferences, symposium, workshops etc. as the stepping stones for imagining nation through translation. This paper took quite a few examples of above mentioned literary activities to propose a history of translation as well as the history of Indian literature in a bhasha context. Keywords: Indian literature, nation, national literature, historiography, bangla translation, ecology of translation. ... the major modern Indian languages have developed not only through ‘vertical’ translations from the languages of power and knowledge - English and Sanskrit - but also by engaging in ‘horizontal’ translations of one another, ultimately contributing to the creation of an inherently pluralistic body of literature in India. (Translation as Growth: Towards a Theory of Language Development, Uday Narayan Singh). Imagining Indian Literature in Bangla can be traced back from 19th century with the translation of Indian literary texts from West Indian languages by Jyotindranath Tagore and also with the translation of Rabindranath Tagore’s translations of Indian poetry. This paper traced the history of translation and imagination of National literature from early 20th century as theoretically Indian Literature were assumed to be studied. -

That is when Indian literature became a theoretical category. But from the Sanskrit bias of early European Indologists, to the reformist-nationalist-modernist projects, to the ease with writing in English, literature in India has traversed diverse terrains. P P RAVEENDRAN n recent days there has been a great deal of debate on the found immediate acceptability in the Oriental world in the era of significance of the two words “Indian” and “literature,” modernity and colonisation. What all this suggests is that the Ithough not always in a contiguous context, and certainly not cultural roots of Indian literature and Indian sensibility on the same level of theoretical and political resonance. Taken should be construed as running deeper and stronger than the roots separately, neither “Indian” nor “literature” would elicit uniform of the corresponding tendencies in the socio-economic realm. response even from the common reader. While who or what is We are grappling here with questions of knowledge formation, “Indian” has always remained a matter of contention among and in this context it is worthwhile to remember that knowledge sections of the citizenry, especially in post-independence India, is not a neutral category that gets circulated in a society in an what constitutes “real” literature has also been a matter of serious unmediated way.
