Know, what is the connection between the ancient Kaithi script and the land property dispute in Bihar?

Patna, July 28, 2021, Thursday

The centuries-old Kaithi script was used extensively in documents and writings in Bihar before English and Hindi. As far as Bihar is concerned, the decline in the number of experts who have solved and understood this Kaithi script has led to an increase in illegal land grabbing and property related crimes. The biggest problem is in the records office of the municipalities. When old documents written in Cathy are needed, the staff barely knows the script, which adds to the workload. The help of a script expert is sought as even the lawyers and judges do not understand the script when the dispute over the property containing the document in Cathy script reaches the court door.

Resolving the Cathy script has proved to be a boon for many to regain their right to land. In Bihar, it has become necessary to protect Kathy not only as a script but also for the rights and justice of the people. Cathy, who is a learner, has started earning money by teaching others in tuition classes. Cathy has also started giving advertisements to teach. Thus the erasing ancient script has become a source of income for some again.

Historians believe that the Kaithi script has been a folklore for centuries. All those who had relevant government papers or documents were written in Cathy. This was a genealogy that survived the passage of time. The same script was seen in all the reports and reports of the British era. All the workers outside Bihar used Kathy in their letters to their families who went abroad. This script was taught in schools till 150. The buyer is satisfied only when the land and sale documents are written in Cathy. By 180 the judges understood the script, but gradually the number of those who read it became less and less. Cathy also had a script that was written shorthand to quickly understand the king's orders.

There is not even a gap between the two words in the Cathy script.

Cathy is considered to be the ancestor of Sylheti Nagari, Mahajani and many scripts. It was used with Devanagari, Persian and other contemporary scripts. Cathy was chosen by Christian missionaries to translate literary works because they were once so popular with the masses. In Bihar, books on folklore and magic and Tantramantra were written in Kaithi script. The original copy of Karna Kayastha's Panji system written in Kaithi is preserved in the museum of Darbhanga Maharaj. Cathy does not use interrogative, comma and full stop. There is also no distance between the two words. It also differs from Devanagari in that it does not have the same headline as Hindi.
