Translation Barriers: A Study of Baluta by Daya Pawar

This paper explores the translation barriers encountered in the English rendering of Baluta, the Marathi autobiography by Daya Pawar. Through a study of the translation process, this research identifies the challenges related to cultural context, linguistic nuances, and identity representation. It critically examines the implications of translating autobiographical texts deeply rooted in socio-cultural and regional realities, drawing attention to how translation can illuminate and obscure the original work's essence. By focusing on Baluta, this paper aims to offer insights into the complexities of translating marginalized voices and literature into global languages.
