  • First Page of the first Khasi translation of the Bible in Bengali script, distributed in 1831 by Serampore Baptists.

    Thank you @tarunbhartiya for an informative and interesting contribution on the first Khasi translation of the Bible in the Bengali script! 🙏🙏 And what's more, there was a Khasi woman who helped William Carey in translating the Bible! 😃😃

    In @tarunbhartiya 's own words:

    "I so desperately want to know the name of the Khasi Lady – wife of the rajah/ chieftain who impressed Dr. William Carey with her intelligence and helped him translate the New Testament into Khasi. What was she doing in Calcutta/ Serampore in 1810s? How did she learn English? Was she literate (most probably yes)? Did William Carey talk to her about the Christian faith? Did she meet Krishna Pal who was planning to come to Pandua?"

    These and so many other questions arise when we read about the journey of the translations of the Bible into Khasi.
