Translating from ... Tamil

       In The Hindu D. Karthikeyan talks to "Puducherry-born writer, translator and art critic, Indran", in Tamil works must be translated into European languages as well.
       Indran notes:

In the area of translation with particular reference to Tamil, I think we are always conditioned to think of translating works of other languages into native Tamil. Sparingly we think of translating Tamil works of literature in languages other than English because of our colonial legacy. We never think of translating works in Tamil to French, German, Danish and Spanish languages. This trend should be reversed.

       Indeed.
