Essay on Odia Language!

The script in the edicts of Ashoka in 2nd century BC at Dhauli and Jaugada and the inscriptions of Kharavela in Hati Gumpha of Khandagiri give us the first glimpse of possible origin of the Odia language.From the point of view of language, the inscriptions of Hati Gumpha are near modern Odia and essentially different from the language of the Ashokan edicts. Pali was the prevalent language in Odisha during this period. The Hati Gumpha inscriptions, which are in Pali, are perhaps the only evidence of stone inscriptions in Pali. This may be the reason why the German linguist Prof. Hermann Oldenburg mentioned that Pali was the original language of Odisha.

Traces of Odia words and expressions have been found in inscriptions dating from the 7th century AD. According to scholars, the origin of Odia can be traced back to the 8th or 9th century, but literary works of merit appeared only in the 13th century.

It was in the 14th century, with Saraladasa’s Odia version of Mahabharata, that Odia literature assumed a definite character. Five poets emerged towards the 16th century: Balaram Das, Jagannath Das, Achyutananda Das, Ananta Das and Jasobanta Das.

They are collectively known as ‘Panchasakhas’, since they adhered to the same school of thought, Utkaliya Vaishnavism. The Panchasakha converted ancient Hindu texts into prose (of simple language) easily understood by the people of Udra Desha (Odisha). Achyutananda Das was the most prolific writer of the Panchasakhas.Under the Bhakti movement, Chaitanya’s influence coloured Odia literature deeply. Upendra Bhanja was adept with words and his poetry had an erotic element. Vishnavism produced great lyrical inspiration and some outstanding poets. Four poets emerged: Baladeb Rath who wrote in champu and the new form of poetry chautisha, Dina Krushna Das, Gopal Krishna and the blind Bhima Bhoi.

But a significant role was played by Brajanath Badjena in starting a tradition of prose fiction, though he is not considered a premier writer of prose. His Chatur Binoda seems to be the first to deal with different rasas, but predominantly the bibhatsa rasa, often verging on nonsense.

It was only in the nineteenth century that prose came to be written in Odia. Fakir Mohan Senapati was a major prose- writer besides being a poet and novelist as well. In mid- nineteenth century contact with the West through English education revolutionised Odia literature. Madhusudan Rao, who founded the Brahmo movement in Odisha, was another great poet of Odisha. Chintamani Mahanty, Nanda Kishore Bal and Gaurisankar Ray are some of eminent writers and poets of this time.

The first Odia printing typeset was cast in 1836 by the Christian missionaries, replacing palm leaf inscription and in the process revolutionising Odia literature. Books were printed, and journals and periodicals published.The first Odia magazine was Bodha Dayini (1861) published from Balasore. The main object of this magazine was to promote Odia literature and to draw attention to the lapses in government policy. The first Odia paper, The Utkal Deepika, made its appearance in 1866 under the editorship of Gouri Sankar Ray.

In 1869, Bhagavati Charan Das started Utkal Subhakari to propagate Brahmo faith. In the last three-and-a-half decades of the 19th century, a number of newspapers were published in Odia.

Prominent amongst them were Utkal Deepika,Utkal Patra, Utkal Hiteisini from Cuttack, Utkal Darpan and Sambada Vahika from Balasore, and Sambalpur Hiteisini (1889) from Deogarh. The publication of these papers indicated the desire and the determination of the people of Odisha to uphold the right of freedom of expression.

They encouraged modern literature. Radhanath Ray (1849-1908) is the prime figure, who tried to write his poems under the influence of Western literature. He is seen as the father of modern Odia poetry. He wrote Chandrabhaga, Nandikeshivari, Usha, Mahajatra, Darbar and Chilika.
