Write a comparison between Indian literature in English and others
Answers
Indian English Literature refers to works written by Indian authors in English. Although English language was a colonial implementation in India, authors like Raja Rao, R. K. Narayan, Arundhati Roy, and Mahesh Dattani have used an independent and naturalized Indian English language to lucidly describe Indian characters and settings. Thus, all poetry, drama, fiction and non-fiction penned by Indians and having Indian issues as their subject fall under the umbrella term ‘Indian English Literature’.
Indian literature translated into English is exactly what it says- a vernacular text that has been translated by either the same author or by a different translator(s). Indian texts in translation are slightly tricky as there are two opinions about it. One section believes in the old saying that a translator is a traitor and hence look at any translation as tainted and inferior to the original. The other section champions translation of vernacular texts into English as, let’s face it, English is the lingua-franca in today’s globalised era and translation can only promote extension of knowledge. Whatever the stand is, it is undeniable that a bad translation can do as much damage as a good translation can do good.
This is a summary of a topic that has generated chapters, books, discourses, and entire departments in Indian universities. If you want to know more you may read some books like—
a) A History of Indian English Literature - M. K. Naik.
b) The Twice Born Fiction - Meenakshi Mukherjee.
