Description
Uncovering the Forgotten Translator The name "Manmatha Nath Dutt" appears in almost all translations of ancient texts that Bibek Debroy wants to translate from Sanskrit into English. What are the chances of two translators choosing the same set of texts? This coincidence sets off a journey for Debroy to discover more about the enigmatic translator, Manmatha Nath Dutt. As Debroy gathers material and sifts through clues, he pieces together a jigsaw puzzle to reveal a picture of this prolific translator. His story is one of 19th-century Calcutta, where Debroy uncovers a trail of forgotten texts and translators. Through his research, Debroy sheds light on the life and work of Manmatha Nath Dutt, a figure who had largely remained ignored until now.
