Google to Promote Bengali Culture
Techtree News Staff, Jul 21, 2008 1730 hrs IST
Google is in talks with West Bengal government to promote Bengali culture, by hosting Bengali literary works on Google Books and popular Bengali films on YouTube.
Aficionados of Bengali culture will soon be able to use Google to search for literary works by illustrious writers hailing from the region. Also, the Internet giant is planning to host Bengali movies on its video-sharing website YouTube.
According to a press release, West Bengal IT Minister Debesh Das has been quoted saying Google has expressed interest to include Bengali classical literature and movies in its web-based applications.
Reportedly, there was a meeting between top officials from Google Inc. and Buddhadeb Bhattacharya, Chief Minister of West Bengal, where the proposal to introduce Bengali classical literature and popular movies in Google's search wagon was suggested.
Interestingly, according to the same source, Google has also offered a proposal to maintain mail accounts of all ministers and top state government officials.
Google already has a Bangla version for search. And it is refreshing to know that efforts are being made to make Bengali literary works easily accessible, as easy as it is to generate recipes for aloo posto and maacher jhal.
While you wait for this venture to launch, you can get your hands on some available Bengali literary works!
