Routledge Disability in Translation: The Indian Experience - Routledge

This volume examines how disability is perceived, represented and understood through Indian literature and translation practices. By exploring the asymmetrical power relations embedded in translation work, the book reveals how disability concepts are constructed and expressed across languages and cultures. The essays analyse the practical experience of translating Indian-language stories into English where disability forms the central subject matter, with particular attention to recovering marginalised voices and understanding the complexities of rendering disability idioms across linguistic boundaries. The collection brings together critical perspectives on disability studies, translation theory and Indian literary traditions, offering scholars and readers insight into how language shapes disability narratives and cultural understanding.
