Critical Discourses in South Asia

South Asia, and especially India, has a long and rich tradition of critical discourses in its languages. These discourses are unique in their own ways without being exclusive and they form an integral part of the regional intellectual traditions. Each critical discourse has its specificity, while it is also related with other critical traditions in an interlingual and interliterary way. However, there is a considerable amount of insulation among such critical traditions primarily because of lack of translation of seminal texts in major South Asian languages.

This series broadly deals with critical discourses in major South Asian languages representing various schools, movements and discursive practices. Each individual volume in the series brings together English translation of major writings dealing with theoretical formulations, literary criticism and theory, re-interpretations of critical concepts and categories and critical movements in the concerned language that go into the making of its critical tradition.　

The volumes in the series not only offer a comprehensive picture of critical discourses in major South Asian languages but also facilitate a comparative understanding of critical traditions across the world.
