Week 10 – Cutchery Tamil Versus Pure Tamil – Israel (Sugirtharajah)

This article deals with the controversial translation of the biblical text into the Tamil language.   It seems as though this problem has been present in every place in which  Christianity was brought through colonialism.  Much of the problem seems to be found in the imposing or hijacking of terms on the Christian colonizers’ part.  Maybe the issue of translation would not be so controversial if the natives of the land had more of a participation in the deciding of what would become their ”Christian language”.
