A two-day workshop on translating Vachanas into Japanese, German and Spanish languages was inaugurated at Central University of Karnataka near here on Tuesday. The event was jointly organised by Central University and the Basava Samithi, Bengaluru.
Stressing the need for translating Vachana literature into all major languages of the world, Vice-Chancellor of Central University Battu Satyanarayan said that Vachanas have human values and they need to be communicated to the global audience.
“Translating Vachanas into global languages is the need of the hour. We have a Department of Foreign Languages and faculties in these languages. We are happy that we have joined hands with the Basava Samithi in this noble job of taking the Vachanas to the global readers,” Prof. Satyanarayan said.
