Asterix in Hindi

Publisher: Gowarsons Publishers Private Ltd, New Delhi, India.

In a 2009 internet newspaper "livemint.com" we read about the Hindi translation. "We wanted to keep the humour of the originals, but ensure that the Indian reader would be able to follow it," says translator Harish M. Sudan. In Asterix aur Kyiopatra, for example, the queen's former food taster celebrates his new found freedom by running away to eat dahi bhalla. The Romans speak with a slight Punjabi twang and greet each other with namastara. Druid Getafix is Vaidyanathix, bard Cacofonix, Besurix, and chief Vitalstatistix, Motumilix.

These editions have a more strict translation from original french version, but Indian songs, some phrases from Hindi language or sanskrit (for giving roman accent) are used to give local feelings.

सन् 50 ई.पू.। पूरे गॉल पर रोमनों ने कब्जा जमा रखा है... पूरे? नहीं! अजेय गॉलवासियों का एक ऐसा गाँव है जो अब भी हमलावरों के विरुद्ध जमकर डटा हुआ है, और जिन्होंने तकरारम, झकमारम, ललकारम तथा कपिघुड़कम जैसी किलाबंद छावनियों के रोमन सैनिकों की नाक में दम कर रखा है...

San 50 ee.poo.. Poore gaul par romanon ne kabaja jama rakha hen... Poore?
