A new member in Nirmukta's FB group, Nimi, asked about The God Delusion and other such books in Hindi. This sparked a discussion on translations of TGD.
The following is from FB:
Ajita Kamal Not sure about a version in SI languages, but you might be interested in this http://nirmukta.net/Thread-C-Ravichandra...ianet-News
Priyabrata Mahapatro Here are the 33 languages into which The God Delusion has been translated. You'll see that Hindi, Telugu and Tamil are among them, but not, as far as I'm aware (please correct me if I am wrong) Urdu or Bengali.
Italian, Hungarian, German, Bulgarian, Lithuanian, Portuguese, Croatian, Czech, Chinese, Danish, Estonian, Finnish, French, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Bahasa Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Sovenian, Spanish, Greek, Swedish, Vietnamese, Turkish, Hebrew, Arabic (unofficial translation).

Ajita Kamal BTW, it might be a good idea to create a thread for this in the Science group.
Priyabrata Mahapatro Yup , better
Ajita Kamal Better still, a thread on the forums.
Priyabrata Mahapatro Hmm that can be archived for everyone to see.
Priyabrata Mahapatro 'll have to browse through online bookstores like landmark,crossroads,flipkart etc to check for these translations.
Ajita Kamal Thats the whole point. Not just archived. It can be edited, added to years in the future and indexed by google, just to point to a few other advantages. Plus, there's always the possibility that we could lose all this content on FB someday. We don't own it, remember.
Anita Jose thanks to both of you. i'll check out the links
