Book on Role of Translation in Nation Building launched
It talks about how translators have always played a pivotal role in social and cultural change in
society and how they continue to play a major role in dissemination of the ever expanding
knowledge and information available today. In this globalized world the demand for translation
and language related services has increased many times and that translation is not only
needed for the creation of national identity but it has also become an essential tool for keeping
pace with the processes of globalization and localization. Many times we take for granted the
translator's crucial role at the (intra) national level and we are less aware of their equally pivotal
place as mediators at the international level and, potentially, in the creation of the even larger
and comprehensive global supra national identities which seem destined to follow in the future.
The book contains well researched papers written by 16 scholars coming from various parts of
the world. These scholars have focused on thought “how translation has played crucial role in
shaping up nations not only in Indian/Asian context but also in the context of Europe, Canada,
Africa, Australia and Arab world”.
