Sanskrit, Prakrit, Apobhrongsho or Bengali—whichever language was used in this region, the script used was the Bengali script. Indeed, in the subcontinent, all scripts used, except for Urdu, derived from Ashoka’s Brahmi. During the Gupta period (the third century to the fifth century) a derived form of Brahmi was used.

These illustrations were used to portray the main themes or some interesting part of the manuscripts. There is a long tradition of using illustrations in local manuscripts. These village names with military ranks bear the history of this administrative practice.

The unexplored treasures of old Bengali manuscripts

In Bogura’s Mahasthangarh we have found an epigraph which is written in Ashok’s Brahmi script. The study of these manuscripts is also important for understanding the evolution of Bengali script. Old Bengali documents are a treasure trove for both the linguistic and socio-cultural history of the country. Mir Habib, a Persian peer of the nawab betrayed him and joined the Marathas at this time.

• Manuscripts need to be kept in low temperature conditions at all times to save them from humidity.
• I want to highlight one such punthi of Manasa Mangal which was written around 1805 in Tangail.
• Extensive study on illustrated manuscripts can give us a detailed idea about our local art history.
• The nawab returned to his capital and stayed there during the rainy season.
• In 1778, Bengali script was first used in print in Halhed’s A Grammar of the Bengal Language using Sir Charles Wilkin’s Bengali type.

I believe the university authorities should seriously think about opening manuscript studies departments. Our universities have so many departments but we don’t have any dedicated department for studying manuscripts. That’s why we see little interest among students about learning the craft of reading old manuscripts. Why would a student take the trouble of learning to read old manuscripts for only ten marks? In Bangladesh there is very little study of old Bengali manuscripts today.

But only a week after Alivardi had marched out of Cuttack in June 1749, the Marathas under Mir Habib defeated and captured Alivardi’s agent. The nawab returned to his capital and stayed there during the rainy season. The nawab had paid him 22 lakhs of rupees for ensuring protection against all the Bargi raids.

The government should take an initiative to publish these documents in the modern script alongside the original scripts in which they were written. In the 13th century, the Orissan script underwent changes—some letters started being written differently. Documents found from the 13th century were also written in scripts which came from Brahmi. Till now, we have written the history of old prose using very few documents that are publicly available. Also, around the same time, he shifted to a house at Bashanta Roy Road and started his music school Surmandala. In the same year Sachin worked as the music director, for the first time, for the film Sudurer Priya and acted in the film ‘Selima’ which paved his entry to the filmdom.

It was written in a developed form of Brahmi in the Sanskrit language. The next example we can find is handwriting from the Shushunia Hill in West Bengal dating from the fourth century AD. From the existing evidence we can trace the Bengali script to the ancient Brahmi script. But there are other old Bengali documents in the collection of different archives of the country. So far, the oldest specimen of Bengali prose is considered to be a letter written by the King of Cooch Behar to the King of Ahom Raja in 1555. For example, a comprehensive story of Bengali prose is yet to be written.

Since his childhood he had been attracted to folk songs. His wife, Mira Devi, and only son, Rahul Dev Burman, were also well-known music personalities in the Mumbai film world. Sachin was popularly known as ‘Sachin Karta’ in the Mumbai film and music circle. What will be the use of these lists if you lose the original documents? Dhaka University, Bangla Academy, Barendra Museum—all have published their lists of manuscript collections.

But, in the meantime, the Mughal emperor had appealed for help to Peshwa Balaji Baji Rao, the rival and personal enemy of Raghuji. Alivardi marched in person and recovered Cuttack, driving the Marathas beyond Chilka Lake in December 1742. Early in the morning of 27 September 1742 the nawab’s troops made a surprise charge upon the sleeping Maratha camp of Bhaskar Pandit at Katwa; the Marathas fled, leaving behind all their camp and baggage. The nawab’s rule in the area east of the Ganges was also threatened by occasional Maratha raids.

During the nawab’s stay at Katwa, Mir Habib lured Bhaskar Pandit with the prospect of boundless plunder, to make a sudden dash to his capital during his absence. Maratha Raids a scourge in eighteenth-century Bengal, were a sequel to Maratha rivalry with the Mughals.

But he refused the offer and left the ancestral ‘Tripura House’ at Calcutta and rented a house at Palit Street in Calcutta to concentrate on his pursuits in music. In 1926 he got admitted at the law college for studying law to accomplish his father’s wishes, but could not continue due to his indomitable baji live passion for music. After receiving BA from comilla victoria college in 1924, he took music for profession and KC Dey was his first Guru (mentor). After passing matriculation in 1920, he got admitted at Comilla Victoria College and then started music direction for theater after completing intermediate in 1922. In 1915 Sachin sang for the first time, composed by his father Nabadwipchandra Burman on the occasion of saraswati Puja held his school ground in Comilla. He came up with a unique genre of songs – combination of folk and ragaas with his commendable command over classical ragas and mastery in modifying many of the folk songs based on these ragas.
