About two years ago, Badri Narayan Tiwari, a resident of Kanpur, gave a copy of Ramayana to Dr Mahi Talat. After reading the book, she decided to translate it in Urdu so that others of her faith could read it easily.

“Just like holy texts of all religions, Ramayana also gives a message of peace and brotherhood. It has been written very beautifully. I felt relaxed and peaceful after translating it in Urdu,” she told the media.

It took her more than one-and-a-half years to complete the task. She focused on the fact that the translations shouldn’t change the original meaning in any way.

“Some people in the society spread violence by instigating religious issues, but, no religion teaches to hatred. People of all religions should live together with love and goodwill, and it is necessary that each other’s religions should also be respected,” she said.

Dr Mahi, who holds master degree in Hindi Literature, said that she will continue to work on maintaining mutual harmony through her pen.
