Raghunath Murmu (5 May 1905 – 1 February 1982) was an Indian Santali writer and educator. He developed the Ol Chiki script for the Santali language. Until the nineteenth century, Santali people had no written language and knowledge was transmitted orally from one generation to other. Later European researchers and Christian missionaries started to use Bengali, Odia, and Roman scripts to document the Santali language. Read more on Wikipedia
