The Colossus That Was Bapurao Naik

(Arun Naik, Bapurao Naik's elder son speaks at the Mumbai Marathi Sahitya Sangh kickstarting Bapurao Naik's centenary year celebrations).

The Government of Bombay set up a committee in 1959 basically ‘to go into the question of standardising the keyboards for typewriters and mechanical composing machines’. My father was a member and he was ‘entrusted the work of writing the Monograph on the ‘Typography of Devanagari’. What began as a monograph became a treatise in three bulky volumes. Bapurao began his research really at the beginning. He published a small booklet called The Antiquity of Writing in India. This was the first chapter of the first volume. The other chapters were: 2. Early Scripts of India, 3. Origin of the Brahmi Script, 4. Origin and Development of Indian Scripts [all languages], 5. Origin and Development of Indian Numerals, 6. Devanagari Lipi, Analysis and Calligraphy of Devanagari, 8. Early Printing in Indian Scripts, 9. Typographic Evolution of Indian Scripts, 10. Development of Devanagari Typography, 11. Nirnaysagar Era.
