About The Book: This book, "A Glossary of Judicial and Revenue Terms: And of Useful Words Occurring in Official Documents Relating to the Administration of the Government of British India," tackles the challenge posed by the extensive use of vernacular terms in Indian government documents. The author highlights the multitude of printed and manuscript documents filled with terms from various languages. While some terms resist direct translation due to their specificity, the widespread use without clarification creates confusion. The book contends that this practice, often stemming from indolence, hinders clear communication. It emphasizes the need for linguistic competence, especially in court and revenue contexts, to ensure accurate and effective communication.
