Autobiographies: Omprakash Valmiki’s Joothan (1985) and Frederick Douglass

In this article, I would like to try a comparative study of two autobiographies of Omprakash Valmiki's Joothan (1985) and Frederick Dougglass's Life Slar- istic of American Slave (1845). We compare these two texts and explain the similarities and differences between caste violence and racial violence. Toni Morrison appealed to the American mainstream literature which was dominated by white men to recognize the literature of the Black equally.

Each article presents its own challenge to the translator, but some articles are particularly tricky. This is the case of Joothan, autobiography by author Omprakash Valmiki. This work was first published in India in 1997 and was published in the United States in 2003. As a traditional growth novel, after independence, it was transplanted to India's untouched Chulacaste. It follows the intellectual development of the writer, about the bad abuse that he and his family are facing in the upper class that is the center of city life, and about the fight he is facing for satisfying education And the influence of changing the life of the famous Dalit leader Bhimrao Ambedkar who wrote the Indian Constitution had his richer understanding and developed a wider perception of Dalit.

I have commented on Arun Prabha Mukherjee translating Joothan at Omprakash Valmiki, but it is obvious that I do not like what I think more than I think.

Frederick Douglas is one of the most famous authors of the African-American literary tradition and his first autobiography is one of the most widely read stories of North American slaves. The story of the life of American slave Frederick Douglas was published in 1845 and Douglas fled slavery for less than seven years. The book soon succeeded and sold 4,500 copies in the first 4 months. Throughout his life, Douglas modified his autobiography, continued to expand, and published a second edition in 1855 as my slavery and my freedom. The third edition of Douglas' autobiography was published in 1881 with the lifetime and age of Frederick Douglas, and the extended version of "Life and Times" published in 1892. Various stories of the story of Douglas begin with his birth and childhood, but each new version emphasizes the close interaction and the interaction between Douglas' life and important events in American history It is.

Douglas wrote several autobiographies. In his 1845 autobiography, "The Story of the Life of American Slave Frederick Douglas," he explained his experience as a slave, the latter became a best seller, and the influence was to promote the abolition of death The same can be said about "There was my slavery and freedom" there. (1855) After the civil war ended, Douglas continued to be an active activist to slavery, wrote his last autobiography, Lifetime and Age of Frederick Douglas. It was first published in 1881 and revised in 1892. Three years before his death, it covered events during and after the Civil War. Douglas also actively supports female voting rights and has multiple official positions. Without his approval, Douglas became the first African-American nominated as Vice President of the USA, and as a vice presidential candidate for Victoria Woodhall, he received an equals party ticket .
