ABOUT OLCHIKI SCRIPT AND SANTALI LANGUAGE
"JAHER-KHOND PEOPLE & JHARKHONDI"
In the eve of uprising of other modern Indians on the basis of socio-cultural & linguitical similarity the invention of modern Kherwal script knopwn as “ Muj-Dandhi” was done by Sadhu Ramchand Murmu for the development of Santali, Language, Literature and identity of socio-religious Culture on the first quarter of twentieth century. Subsequently the modern “Olchiki” script was developed by Pandit Raghunath Murmu from the same script which was popularly accepted on the principle of “Identity of self rather than imitation”. The modern “OLCHIKI” script has six vowels i.e. a, aa, i, u, e, o duly derived from the decay, ruined and present existence of the earth (nature) and civilization. It is a unique modern developed Indic script which has both capitals and small letters altogether formed the thirty scripts with some usages (Tudagh). There after the short hand concept was composed by Pruthunath Murmu to strengthen the Olchiki concept. The formative style of each script proves the nature shape, where as the composition of seven days compare with the nature and are the identity of Nature worshiper community or linguistics groups like Devnagiri script. The days, week and month calculation was done as per the lunar clips of the month and “ Magh” is the beginning month. The first day after lunar clips of the month ( Magh-Mulugh) has been accepted as “ Santali New year” like other modern linguistic people new year. In this effect month and days have been calculated under calendar “Goddet” which was published since 1925 for getting the socio-religious identity of the santali people in a modern way known as “ Sarna” or Sarnaism. But it is most unfortunate that the modern developed linguistic people unaware about the same like others or they failed to propagate in a right manner.
As regards languages the santali language in India is existing since very remote past having its rich traditional literature and culture value. In modern age it has full filled by the Olchiki script for the modern identity like others modern Indians people of the country. The santali is also a spoken dialect survives in the teeth and myth of many adversaries in the country. In modern Bharrat this languages acquire a valuable position of one of the most progressive rich traditional literature of the country. In modern age it was firstly rendered in writing and developed by roman script since 1875-85 by some literary loving western people. There after it was replaced by olchiki scripts not only for language-literature but also for socio-religious and culture identity of the Kherwal community (i.e. santhal, Ho, Munda, Mahale, Bhumij). The santali as a language possess every characteristic of its own, it has well night grammar, having a numbers of affixes, tense, moods and usages with calendar “Jug-Sombot-5000” calculated both lunar and sun years covering all the common necessities of day to day life of the people refereed to. The lunar calculation in santali was done by pondit Raghunath Murmu since 1925 with sadhu Ramchand Murmu during the time of composition of modern "Olchiki" script and the sun calculation was done by Thakur Lachhaman Murmu after getting the knowledge and idea from Sri Sri Singbonga Maharaja Singhray Mardi in the eve of new millenium.. It has got it own pronouns, numerical and syntactical structure which forms the characteristic of a full fledged language. The use of olchiki for santali language is the essence of modern identity, Academic life and cultural pride like any other developed script of the country and world.
So far as literature is concerned santali is very rich in its folk’s literature, which includes folk songs, folk tales, proverb, riddles and so on. Now after the inclusion of language in VIII scheduled of the constitution from its fifty years of long deprivation by central government the elementary education should be start immediate for eradication of illiteracy and facilitate academic life of the people. As a result of which the written literature in the forms of poems, short stories, essays, drama, novels etc will grown up well and growing up every day. But alas no positive action till date has been taken by the central or state government and still the state governments of Jharkhand, Odisha,West-Bengal etc are engage in promoting as tribal language which resulted the entire deprivation of linguistic people in equivalent to other scheduled languages. On the other side it's facilitate them to keeping the “ Kherwal Community” people in more edge and spreading of the corruption culture over the region by others in the name of developements.
It is obvious that after creation of Jharkhand & Chhatisgargh state and inclusion of Santali language in the scheduled VIII of the constitution great expectation in terms of raising the standard of living up grading the quality, equity and equality of social justice will raise by these peoples. It is also fully mandate and envisages in the constitution but it is not understood the created Jharkhand state is meant for whom and why? Who are Banabasi and who are Adibasi?. It is the time to strike together for development of modern and prosperous state and country under the modern constitutional set up. In this new era we should identify those elements who are engage in defacing the ancient Indians culture and literature in the name of "Cultural and National integration thought” under the guise of development. The modern thinkers should learn the meaning of ADIBASI "A" denotes for ADDI (beginning),"D" for Developed, “I" for Ideal, "B" for Bravery, "A" for And, "S" for Social & "I" for Inhabitants. These peoples are presently known as “ADIBASI” in the present modern age they are neither BANABASI nor Girijon. Is not it in the name of development & researh the socio- culture, language, script, etc of “Kherwal community” or santali linguistic people have been kept in the edge? It also presently seems that some modern Indians are became more and more intolerant towards them and again try to convert in to “Chritianity & Hinduism” under the guise of “ Educational “ developments.
According to modern new era we should change our thought, instead of engage in denouncing and defacing each others culture custom and tradition every body should concentrate the work on “ Language , Literature & Culture" sovereignty of modern Bharat. .In this new era of 21st century we should make out the "Bharatiya calendar & financial year "from among the recognized languages and calculation. It will bring the complete meaning of BHARAT VARSH.As per the constitution Hindi is a National language, SAKA-ERA is national calendar " Chait" is the beginning month but it has not clarify whether it is beginning of calendar or financial month. Hence the English calendar and financial year has been accepted in day to day official works after the implementation of the constitution. Now after the inclusion of Santali in the scheduled languages and as per calculation of Santali "Magh" is a beginning month and " Push" is the ending month, so I suggest "Magh to Push" should be the Calendar year and "Chait to Baisakh" should be the financial years. It will bring not only the modern literature and cultural sovereignty but also create the identity as “BHARATIYA" instead of "Hindustani". Is not it we have mortgage our language, literature & culture under the colonial emperor even after sixty years of Indians Independence and drugging us towards more corrupt than British ???.
