This is the second in the series of my academic lectures for students and interested fellow academics. The first lecture was on “Of Dreams of Indian Feminine and the Aesthetic Sublime”, which was a virtual presentation for the SARI Conference in Paris, 2019. This lecture is particularly meant for students who had enrolled for an optional course I offer to 4th semester students on “Translation Studies: Theory and practice” in the university I am presently associated with. This is an introductory lecture absolutely meant for graduate students who wish to take up Translation Studies as part of their academic interest which could pursued later for their research if they want to. The lecture is only a tip of an iceberg. Generally students are simultaneously engaged in translation workshops in groups for short stories from languages like Bangla, Rajbanshi, Ahomiya, Bodo , Nepali, Rava , when there is sufficient representation from these communities, in Cooch Behar Panchanan Barma University, English Dept., in North Bengal, India.
