By examining linguistic, cultural, and contextual obstacles, the article aims to highlight the complexities involved in this cross-linguistic endeavour. Additionally, it proposes strategies and methodologies to effectively address these challenges, ensuring that the essence and nuances of Tamil literature are faithfully preserved and conveyed to Assamese readers. Through this exploration, the article seeks to contribute to the broader discourse on translation studies and enhance the appreciation of India’s rich literary tapestry across different linguistic communities.
