Cultural & Linguistic Exploration

This research investigates the stylistic and cultural shifts that occur during the translation of literary texts from Hindi to English. By analyzing five selected translations, the study identifies three key areas where meaning, tone, and cultural nuance are most frequently altered or lost. The paper further examines how these changes impact readers’ perceptions of the original text. Additionally, the research includes a mentoring component, where five peers were guided through comparative analysis exercises to build their skills in cultural interpretation and deepen collective understanding of linguistic diversity
