Rita Kothari
Rita Kothari is a multilingual scholar and translator. She is a Professor of English and Co-director of the Ashoka Centre for Translation at Ashoka University. Her ethnographic research on marginal communities—through religion, caste, occupation, and gender—focuses on narratives of identity, raising questions of both linguistic and cultural translation. She has translated extensively from Gujarati and Sindhi into English and occasionally vice versa. The edited volume, A Multilingual Nation (2017) and the monographs, The Burden of Refuge (2009) and Uneasy Translations (2022) are among her notable works.
