Cosmo Dictionary of Indian English

"For it is by no means always the case that translated terms preserve the original conception; indeed every nation has some idiomatic expressions which it is impossible to render perfectly in the language of the another. Lamblichus: De mysteries vii cap. v.

Dictionary of Indian English is possibly the only book of this nature and scope. It is an essential reference source that should be available to all Indian readers of English language, as well as with those visiting this country." (jacket)
