• The Ol Chiki script, also known as Ol Cemet
("language of writing"), was created in 1925 by Raghunath Murmu for the Santali language. Previously, Santali had been written with the Bengali alphabet, Oriya alphabet, or Latin alphabet, on the rare occasions it was written at all. But because Santali is not an Indo-Aryan language, Indic scripts did not have letters for all of Santali's phonemes, especially its stop consonants and vowels, which made writing the language accurately in an unmodified Indic script difficult.
Greetings,
In the course of our interactions with the
local communities of our action areas and
during the execution of the various activities
planned by the National Service scheme unit
at IIT Kharagpur, we have had the privilege of
encountering a dormant and yet promising
creative potential. This magazine, a first of its
kind initiative, is an attempt to honour and
celebrate this dormant creativity of people
who are often denied the opportunity of its
expression. Special thanks to the people of
Ghagra and to the NSS coordinators and
volunteers for their involvement.
