Antipholus of Syracuse SAUSAGES TO SAMOSE: URDU TRANSLATION OF CHARLES DICKENS’ OLIVER TWIST AND DAVID COPPERFIELD DR. NAZIA HASAN, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, WOMEN’S COLLEGE. A.M.U When England was riding high on the reins of power, its flag flying upright on the peak of success, the red stain of mighty British Empire spreading far and wide on the world map…one can imagine the splurging of wealth in and around the country. Charles Dickens himself shows Julia Mills in David Copperfield returning from India a nouvea riche as wife of a colonial officer ‘steeped in money to the throat…(who) talks and thinks of nothing else’ (DC). The world knew of England as one of the richest and most prosperous nations. But suddenly, this young fellow named Charles Dickens emerges on the literary scene in a tremendous manner telling tales of a London which rots, stinks and reeks of paupers either dying starved or getting stuffed to the Bastilles of workhouses, parishes and farms forcibly. It’s an England where poverty was ‘tantamount to crime’, the poor and the criminals were treated alike as ‘outcastes’ (Marcus). This horrific side was an unknown, silenced or in straight words, a covered aspect of England which Dickens felt the need and urge to curtain off. It caused hush, then a ‘general start’ much like what happens when ‘Oliver asks for more!’ (OT). The surprising thing was that Dickens was not shut off to starve as punishment; rather he touched a chord of every heart, high and low, his voice appealed to every sensible man and woman creating almost a ‘national audience’ (Ackroyd), and becoming the very ‘spirit of the age’ as writes Andrew Sanders (). In Dickens, the English readers got their second Shakespeare in prose, and he became famous in and outside almost all continents. Literary oeuvre of India had its own Mulk Raj Anand, Manto, Munshi Premchand who spoke of the same astonishing aspects of the gold-mounted India in the next century. Dickens easily made home in every heart here, This is a list of notable British Bangladeshis (Bengali: উল্লেখযোগ্য বিলাতী বাংলাদেশীদের তালিকা). This includes Bangladeshi immigrants settled or residing in the United Kingdom and British-born citizens of Bangladeshi national origin. Successful members from the community are recognised in the annual BritBangla,British Bangladeshi Who's Who and British Bangladeshi Power & Inspiration for their significant work, contribution and achievements in British society.
