Dr. Jyotir Moy Chakma
History
March 2025
The Chakmas have a huge and varied number of manuscripts reflecting religion, folk medicine, knowledge on human anatomy, socio-cultural life, etc. However, a large number of manuscripts were already lost and the rest available are mostly in a state of decay. The Chakma manuscripts are found only with individual possession. This indicates that till today no initiatives have undertaken to survey, collect, conserve and preserve in libraries, archives, etc. The paper tries to discuss the problems relating to rapid disappearance of Chakma manuscripts from the society and the need to preserve and conserve these manuscripts
