Making A Case for Translation Studies in India
Ameena Kazi Ansari is an Associate Professor in the Department of English, Jamia, Millia Islamia, New Delhi. She has published four books, English Canadian Literary Canon: Emergence and Development (2004), Partitions (2006), a translation of Kamleshwar's award-winning Hindi novel, Kitne Pakistan, and coedited Translation/Representation (2008) and Indian English Women Poets (2009).
Abstract
Ansari seeks to address major concerns that pertain to Translation Studies, a significant area of academic engagement. She focuses specifically on the Indian context of this engagement, which is an issue that has not yet been attended to with the academic seriousness that it deserves. She lays emphasis on how we may possibly evolve a strategy for translation as well as Translation Studies that is rooted in indigenous realities.

Reflections on Translation and its Hierarchies
Dipankar Sen is an Assistant Professor of English, Durgapur Government College. He has published articles and papers in a host of academic journals and is currently working on a project of translating short stories (from Bengali to English) written by a prominent contemporary Bengali writer.
Abstract
Sen considers the hierarchies of readers, writers, texts and cultures with the aim to suggest that the hierarchies are not stable structures - that is, entities that seemingly occupy a position of privilege in the hierarchical arrangement can actually be shown as differently stationed. He raises several questions related to translation and indicates the presence of issues that surround the binaries. Taking cue from Walter Benjamin's essay The Task of the Translator, argues that it is the translated text that can, cutting through linguistically constructed notions of differences, provide us with an awareness of a fundamental cross-cultural, trans-national sameness.

A Few Thoughts on the Translation of Poetry
Indranee Ghosh is Associate Professor of English in the WBES and the Head of the Department of English at Bidhannagar College, Kolkata. She is the co-author of Linguistics for Literature, (Punascha), editor of A History of the English Language, (Worldview Books), and has translated a number of Joy Goswami's poems, a selection of which has been published in the anthology, Part Autobiography (Worldview Books). She is Chief investigator in a UGC-funded project entitled 'Unsung Stories of the Darjeeling Hills', exploring the living experience of folk culture.
Abstract
Ghosh recounts her experience of making English translations of some poems by the popular Bengali poet, Joy Goswami, which had been done interactively. She examines the function of intonation and stress in speech, as well as the sounds of words in generating meaning, considering these aspects of language as being important elements in the translation of poetry. After a brief survey of the varying methods of translation based upon the target readership over the years she attempts to show from her experience the problems of the practice in the school curriculum and the literary environment.

It's All in the Speaking: The Dynamics of Intralingual Translation in Wide Sargasso Sea and Tar Baby
Amit Bhattacharyya is an Associate Professor in the Department English, the University of GourBanga. He has done his Ph.D. on Kamala Das's poetry. Bhattacharya has presented research papers on various topics and chaired sessions in a number of National and International seminars. He has also contributed articles to reputed journals and critical anthologies on Indian Literature in English, New Literatures in English, American Literature, British Literature, Translation Studies, etc.
Abstract
Bhattacharya attempts to re-read two women's texts namely Jean Rhy's Wide Sargasso Sea and Toni Morrison's Tar Baby that deal with diasporic or deterritorialized experiences. He goes beyond Jacobson's exclusive stress on linguistic practices and focuses on Cutter's sociological orientation. He says that the case of intra-lingual translation may also be studied from an entirely different perspective - that of intralingual shift, i.e., translation within a language or between different codes or dialects.

In re-visiting the problems he sums them up under three heads of problems before during and after the translation. He says that the objectives of translating Agamsingh Giri into English were to introduce Giri as an Indian Nepali poet to the non-Nepali speaking audience and thus to contribute something to the literary terrain of translation.

Writing as Translatability: The Intellectual Dynamics of Translatability
Pius V. Thomas is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy, Assam (Central) University, Silchar. His areas of specialization are Critical Theories, Hermeneutics and Contemporary Western Thinking. His current research deals with Inter-culturality and Critique, Ethics and Reason, Democracy and Religion, Environmental Ethics and the Philosophy of Human Rights. At present he is enganged in two UGC-SAP research projects. One is on 'Contextualizing the Ethical Repertoire of Environmental and Developmental Rights' and 'Christianity and the Educational Rights in the North East'.
Abstract
Highlighting intercultural translatability Pius V. Thomas makes an attempt to frame the common space where translation and 'interculturality' establish a significant mutual affirmation and contact. The earlier linguistic and text based theories of translation were dominated by the paradigm that translation is mainly the inter-lingual act of translating. He assumes that the current culture based theoretical approaches to translation should highlight a philosophically more important dimension of 'translatability' which invokes the necessity behind translation than the possibility attached to the act of translation.

Reading More Intimately: An Interrogation of Translation Studies through Self-Translation
Anil Joseph Pinto is an Assistant Professor in the Department of English and Media Studies, Christ University, Bangalore, Karnataka. His area of research include digital culture, selftranslation, Konkani literature, history of higher education, and book history.
Abstract
Pinto focuses on the phenomenon of self-translation. The phenomenon of not treating self-translations as translations is prevalent perhaps because even the publishers as well as the authors do see an open enteredness. Basing on examples like Tagore's Gitanjali he highlights the need to consider self-translation astranslation and the intricacies revolving around it.

Translation: Politics and Problems
Zinia Mitra is presently the Head of the Department of English at Nakshalbari College, Darjeeling. She has done her Ph.D on Jayanta Mahapatra. Her travelogues and articles have won columns in The Statesman. Her reviews and articles have been published in different books and journals. Her translations have been published by Sahitya Academi. She is on the Editorial Board of The Criterion.
Abstract
Mitra highlights the point that any translation done from Source Language (SL) to Target Language (TL) acknowledges the existence of boundaries between cultures and also accepts that there exists a shared zone of reverberation among diverse ethnic groups without which translations could never reach far out. But every culture has its own boundaries. A translator is aware of these boundaries and the stipulation of crossing them. These boundaries are not impassable but are flexible that offer entry at many points, if not at every one of them. Translation involves decoding and decoding involves lot of difficulties.

Translation: The Base and Superstructure
Tuhin Sanyal is an Assistant Professor in the Department of English in Tufanganj Mahavidyalaya, Tufanganj, Coochbehar.
Abstract
Sanyal begins by highlighting the different genres of translation since the Old English Period of Literature. He then goes on to focus on the Indian translators like Kashiram Das, Thiruvalluvar, Krittibas Ojha and the likes. He examines the importance of culture in translation and determines the equivalence in translation. Considering the idea that all languages are essentially one, just as the similarity persisting in human beings, he conludes by highlighting a connotative aspect of a more semantic character.

Debt to Soil: Dyson's Translation of Tagore's Poems
Sharmila Lahiri Mitra is an Assistant Professor at the Department of English, Siliguri Mahilla Mahavidyalaya, Siliguri. She has presented papers at various national seminars, and contributed articles to academic journals. Her area of specialization is Contemporary English. She has worked on Dalit Fiction in Translation, published by Orient Black Swan.
Abstract
Lahiri attempts to highlight how the poems of Tagore have been translated by Dyson, keeping in mind the subtle Indian nuances. It is with "contact with the soil" that Tagore's poems "Antaeus-like grew strong". Dyson's translations preserve the typical local essences: the contours of the country-side, the seasons and the months, thoughts and philosophy. One recognizes the preference of the rural over the urban. The names of musical instruments, trees, fruits, and fictional characters of Indian origin are deliberately retained. Indian myths and symbols help to strengthen the notion.

Nikesh Sapkota is a lecturer in the Department of English in Salesian College, Sonada. He is associated with the editing of articles, journals and magazines.
Abstract
Sapkota attempts a critical reading and an analysis of the four translated poems of Dr. Jiwan Namdung by Dr. Bhanu Chettri. He points out that an effort has been made here to show both the possibilities and the constraints that the translator comes across during the process of translation. Rating Bhanu Chettri's translation as chiefly semantic Nikesh states that the strength of Bhanu Chettri as a translator is his ability to remain faithful to the views, expressions and imageries of the poet in the source text.

Her area of research interest is "Myth, Language and Performance in 20 and 21century American Drama". She has published research papers and articles in journals and books.
Abstract
Das makes a study of David Mamet's play The Cryptogram (1995). She points out how the text explores the slippery linguistic code spoken by adults in the presence of children. The play's repetitive and often bland three-way dialogue creates a more pronounced distance between characters, many of whom can no longer decode even their own sentences.
