“We must link up with our roots. The script of any language is not just a means for writing, but it is the soul, the symbol of dignity and cultural identity of any society. Similarly, Ol Chiki is the soul, dignity, and cultural identity of the Santhali society. Pandit Raghunath Murmu’s vision has given the Santhal community and the Santhali language a distinct identity on the global platform. When Pandit Raghunath Murmu developed the Ol Chiki script in 1925, he had actually written the future of several centuries to come,” Murmu said, addressing the centenary celebration of the Ol Chiki script at the Karandih Dishom Jaherthan in Jamshedpur on Monday.
