BOOK ON TAMIL SCHOLARS

Saraswati Ramnath is an excellent translator who has translated from Tamil to Hindi and from Hindi to Tamil.



Translation is an art like walking on a rope. It is also an alchemical art of gilding copper. Linguistics, vocabulary, semantics, sociocultural sense, ability to translate according to target language traditions, grammatical knowledge - these are all qualifications for a translator. It is said that the best translation is one that, like the first book created in the original language, is a clear expression of thought in a naturally fluid style. Saraswati Ramnath gave such excellent translations to Tamil.

Born September 7, 1925. Tarapuram is his hometown in Coimbatore district. Graduate of Widwan (Pandit) in Hindi. He is the best writer in Tamil. He received the Sahitya Akademi Award for Best Translation in Tamil in 1993, the Kendriya India Sansthan Award in 1994, the Hindi Sansthan Award and the Bharatiya Anuvath Parishad Duvivakish Puraskar Award.
