The indepth study in the area of Art of Translation
demands more attention not because it paves way for global interaction but also
offers an excellent opportunity to undergo socio-cultural survey of various
languages and their literatures. In the context of Indian Studies,keeping in
view the multilingual and pluristic cultural
nature of our country,translation has an important role to play. Again,
it is through translation that we can peep into the rich heritage of India as one
integrated unit and feel proud of our cultural legacy.

a text book, has all the qualities of an excellent research work backed up by
well conceived text-data in the form of exercises,technical terminology and
other relevant material.The book comprises of three main categories:English
Reader,Hindi Reader and Work Book. Scholarly and well defined articles written
