Item description from seller

Language: English. About the Book: - The author has delved deep into the ancient history and literature to know the origin of the Bengali script. At the time of doing research, he follows in a published essay on the origin and development of the Bengali script; one must necessarily follow the steps of the late Hofrata Dr Georg Buhler, the father of the science of the Indian Paleography. The work, as a matter of course, was short of concise, and dealt with the development of Indian alphabets up to the Twelfth century A.D. The development of alphabets from B.C. 350 to 600 A.D. is clearly described in this work. But after that period, lack of materials obliged the learned author to consider the development of the Northern alphabets as a whole, and not according to its varieties. The discoveries made during the last sixteen years rendered it possible to take up that work now. The book is the product of extensive study of this script. The subject of the book is good in the context of the researchers of the Bengali language. The illustrations and inscriptions made it more worth readable and informative. About the Author: - Rakhaldas Bandyopadhyay also known as RD Banerji was an eminent Indian Archaeologist & Museum expert. He was the Manindra Chandra Nandy Professor of Ancient Indian History and Culture at the Banaras Hindu University from 1928–30. He is mostly known as the discoverer of Mohenjo-daro, the principal site of the Harappa culture. Bandyopadhyay is popular for unearthing pre-Buddhist artifacts at the ruins at Mohenjo-Daro; for noting similarities between the site at Mohenjo-Daro and Harrappa. Those discoveries lead to excavations at the two sites that established the existence of the then-unknown Bronze Age Indus Valley Civilisation. His interpretations of this civilisation were published in a number of articles and books: "An Indian City Five Thousand Years Ago" ; "Mohenjo-Daro" (in Bangla, Basumati, 1331 BS); Prehistoric, Ancient and Hindu India (posthumously published, 1934) and Mahenjo-Daro – A Forgotten Report. The Title 'The Origin Of The Bengali Script written/authored/edited by R. D. Banerji', published in the year 2020. The ISBN 9789353245504 is assigned to the Paperback version of this title.
