Sabyasachi Hazra's Primer to Press
The epoch we live in, which started fourteen thousand years ago, is called the Holocene epoch while traces of the first village were found in Turkey some 10,000 years ago. Civilization is claimed to have started since the discovery of writing in the Sumer region of the Middle East some 6,000 years ago. Many famous nations of the world, such as English or French, do not have their own alphabet. Their language is written in Roman alphabet. We Bengalis are fortunate to have alphabet of our own. Just as no one values the luck that is found incidentally, Bengali alphabet also cannot be said to have received much attention from native researchers. Not many books or articles have been written about the Bengali alphabet in Bangladesh, known as the 'Land of Language Movement'.
