History-defining novel translated
7 May 2008
The novel that defined India's national song and inspired a whole
generation of freedom fighters over a century ago has been translated
by a Faculty of Divinity scholar.
Professor Julius Lipner's recent work is the only complete English
translation of `Anandamath, or the Sacred Brotherhood,' a novel
penned by author, poet and journalist Bankimcandra Chatterji in 1882.
For his work, Prof Lipner received the 2008 A.K. Ramanujan Book Prize
for Translation.
The prize is conferred for translations from a South Asian language,
and can be from work from any historical period. Previously
unpublished translations are more likely to receive the award.
Professor Lipner's version of `Anandamath' is the first translation
since the early 20th century and is the only one complete with
historical facts and an introduction which discusses the novel's
historical basis and the author's background.
The award was presented to Professor Lipner by the South Asia Council
which is part of the American Association for Asian Studies (AAS).
The AAS is a scholarly association open to all people interested in
Asia's history and culture.
Professor Lipner was born and brought up in India which he regularly
visits to conduct research. He has published extensively and has
lectured throughout the world. He teaches Hinduism and the
Comparative Study of Religion.
