Indian Literature(s) in English Translation

This paper discusses issues of resistance and representation with reference to Indian texts and their English translations. Although Indian literatures have been widely translated in the past, translating Indian literature has become a serious academic engagement only in recent decades. Considering this tradition of translation, this paper argues that the contextualization, theorization and canonization of Indian literature in English translation need attention in today’s fast‐changing literary scene, and all the more so since postcolonial writing represents a new literary culture
