Imphal, February 04 2023:
Suggesting transliteration of the old Meeteilon books which were written in Bengal script into Meetei Mayek (MM/script), Langthabal AC MLA Karam Shyam said that this will, in turn, increase the cultural and literature wealth of the state arid further help in increasing the knowledge of the future generations.
The MLA made the suggestion during the releasing of two books, "Chahi Taret Khuntakpa", and "Sahitya Amadi Naat ki Wareng Khara", transliterated by Rajen Toijamba from Bengali script to Meetei Mayek, organised by Ashangba Communication at the Preview Theatre Hall of Manipur State Film Development Society on Saturday.
Karam Shyam observed that only literature enthusiasts were found transliterating the old books/texts and as such, urged for concerted efforts from all concerned to take up the transliteration work for the sake of future generation.
He further urged the youth to comprehend the lessons embedded in the books so as to increase their knowledge.
The book release function was also attended by Manipur Sahitya Parishad Imphal president Longjam Joychandra and The Cultural Forum Manipur president Prof Huirem Bihari Singh as presidium members.
