Let me admit that I am a votary of the following falsifiable proposition that is almost a cliché among those who follow Urdu poetry: A great poet creates a new idiom for the language. This proposition yields the following corollary for the translator: The translation of a great poet, especially a translation that positions itself as a presentation of the great poet to the target language’s audience, must create a new idiom in the target language.

In 2006 we published a book titled Indian Youth in a Transforming World: Attitudes and Perceptions. It was based on the first-ever opinion survey conducted in India of 5,000 youth from across the country. We sought their views on many different aspects of their lives, from family and social networks to leisure and lifestyle, to trust and circles of belonging, to their anxieties and aspirations.
