Abstract

This research article explores the pivotal role of translation in the global dissemination and appreciation of Indian literature. Through an examination of historical perspectives, contemporary practices, and case studies, the study aims to elucidate the impact of translation on making Indian literary works accessible to a wider, international audience. The analysis delves into the challenges faced by translators, the influence of translated works on cultural understanding, and the reciprocal relationship between translation and the global reception of Indian literature.
