Sadhu Ramchand Murmu (30 April 1897 – 15 December 1954)[2][better source needed] was a Santali poet, writer, and educator.[3] He reshaped the Santali literature and music in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[4] He is also known as Kobiguru or Mahakabi of Santali literature.[5] He is one of the great tribal poets from India.[6] He is the first Santali poet who combines the high poetic tradition of Sanskrit and Bengali literature with the cadences and aesthetic sensibilities of Santali oral tradition. He encourages the indigenous Santals community and inspired them in education & culture. He also developed the first script named MUJ-DANDHE (also known as Maj Dader Ank) for the Santali language in 1923.[7][8][9]
