Thanks Wahid da for sharing this 'Jewels of Information ' .It is said that it
was the Baptist missionaries who saved the Assamese languagefrom becoming
extinct , it’s heartening to know that they were instrumental in molding young
Abdul Majid . This article on the lifestory of An illustrious son of Assam -
Abdul Majid, is a vistas of gloryof our past , which can eventually help forge
a new chapter in Assameselanguage. I only hope our youngsters will take it
forward.
Thanks
Ankur
I am acknowledging author Ms. Dabira Sultana Ahmed for thisthrough and profound
work.

[Attachment(s) from Wahid Saleh - Indiawijzer included below] Dear
all,Last month I posted a mail with a copy of an article in Assamese about "an
illustrious son of Assam - Abdul Majid". My sister has now published an English
version. I would like to share the same with you all. About 5 years
back with the support of my young friends like Amitakhya Phukan, Amitav
Chakravartty, Ankur Bora, Manjit Nath, Pallav Saikia, Rasika Saikia, Satyajit
Nath and later joined by Pankaj Barah and many more, I was able to take the
ই-জোনাকী যুগ (e-jōnākī-jug) initiative. It was to be a catalyst for increasing
the scale of Assamese content on the Internet and to promote the creation of
online repositories of Assamese literature -- both classic and new. Enhance
existing online Assamese content and make it searchable (unlike content in
image form). Spreading the knowledge of Unicode was one of the main objectives.
How far we succeeded it is for others to judge. By getting interested
in the work of my Beideo and helping her a bit in digging in the past, I
realise that long before জোনাকী যুগ, a young student in Calcutta, who was my
relative was one of the founders of the Assam Social Literary Club along with
his compatriot Ghanashyam Baruah. Later the Club became the Asomiya Bhasha
Unnatti Sadhani Sabha. This association became the inspiration for the
formation of Asom Sahitya Sabha. (Source: Asomiya Bhasha Sahitya, Asom Sahitya
Sabha aru Asomar Musalman, Ismail Hussain, Gyan Sambhar, Feb 2004).
The attached article besides presenting the life sketch of a unique
illustrious son of Assam, little known to others will touch upon জোনাকী যুগ
also. If you have any additional information about Abdul Majid, please
inform. GreetingsWahid Da __._,_.___ Attachment(s) from Wahid Saleh -
