From the 1960's the debate in India has centered on the role of the English language in perpetuating and maintaining the cultural and ideological aspects of imperialism. The debate received renewed attention following controversial claims by Salman Rushdie and V.S. Naipaul on the inferior status of contemporary Indian-language literatures. This volume : ? offers nuanced analysis of the language, audience and canon debate; ? provides a multivocal debate in which academics, writers and publishers are brought together in a multi-genre format (academic essay, interview, personal essay); ? explores how translation mediates this debate and the complex choices that translation must entail. Other Tongues is the first collective study by to bring together voices from differing national, linguistic and professional contexts in an examination of the nuances of this debate over language. By creating dialogue between different stakeholders ? seven scholars, three writers, and three publishers from India ? the volume brings to the forefront underrepresented aspects of Indian literary culture. 410 0$aCross/cultures ;$v99. 606 $aEnglish language$zIndia 606 $aIndic literature 606 $aIndic literature (English)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIndic literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIndic literature$vTranslations 615 0$aEnglish language 615 0$aIndic literature. 615 0$aIndic literature (English)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIndic literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIndic literature 676 $a820.9954 701 $aIyer$b Nalini$01604476 701 $aZare$b Bonnie$01604477 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816083903321 996 $aOther tongues$93929333 997 $aUNINA
