Puthi
A Puthi, (Bengali: পুঁথি, Sylheti: ꠙꠥꠕꠤ), is a book or writing of poetic fairy tales and religious stories of rural ancient Bengal which were read by a senior "educated" person while others would listen. This was used as a medium for education and constructive entertainment. Puthis are ancient manuscripts. In Bengal, these books were unlike any other book at that time. Writers (Munshis) used to write in Sanskrit, Bengali and Sylheti Nagari. The pages of Puthis could be leaves, leather, sheets of wood, or barks. This was common before the invention of paper. Usually, they were written on one side and bound with a piece of string. Some sheets were grey or yellow in colour were known as pandulipis meaning pale yellow writing. This made it resistant to insects as well, allowing it to survive for a long time.Abdul Karim Sahitya Bisharad collected more than 2,000 Puthis. More than 1,000 of them were written by Bengali Muslims. No other person or organization has collected this number of Puthis before.
