Translation is an everyday practice.
In the course of our daily activities we constantly interpret and translate our needs in different languages. Tyu the translation of modern Hungarian short stories into Hindi. Raghuvir Sahay, Vishnu Khare and Giridha Rathi published a number of Hindi translations and separate collections.
