Dear all,
A good news share! One of the masterpieces of Assamese literature
'Namghoxa' by Mohapurux Madhabdev is now freely available on the web
as unicode. The URL is -
http://www.xahitya.org/2012/06/15/namghoxa/
This splendid work has been single handedly done by Pratim Pratap
Baruah a Delhi based Assamese Engineer. He has also edited the recent
version of http://www.xahitya.org/, A unique Platform for Assamese
Unicoded Literature on the web. This has also been deposited to Wiki
Sources (http://wikisource.org/wiki/Category:নামঘোষা) .
This conversion into UNICODE would undoubtedly be a monumental
achievement in the annals of Assamese literature and a most
significant milestone in the history of UNICODE conversion. It would
also greatly aid Sankaradeva studies since researchers will now be
able to perform searches across the text and perform other activities
such as lexicographical, indexing, semantic search and
concordance-related, etc with effortless ease.
The members of the Facebook group Axomiyat Kotha Botora, from around
the globe have also volunteered to convert another landmark
masterpiece of Assamese literature 'Kirtan' by Mohapurux Srimanta
Sankardev. We are working to make it freely available on the web.
Members of the group have already converted around 800 songs of
Sudhakontho Bhupen Hazarika to Assamese unicode, which will also be
made available to public soon.
