Ask a Bengali what in his/her bookcase does he/she treasure most  And the answer will be - the sixteen volume set of Rabindra Rachanabali that is the complete works of Rabindranath Tagore. Over the years the works of Tagore has been one of the key source of revenue for Bishwabharati. However after the expiry of the extended copyright publishers were free to reprint Tagore without having to pay any royalty to Bishwabharati. The Society for Natural Language Technology Research SNLTR grabbed this opportunity and made the entire published works of Tagore Rabindra Rachanabali available online through their website http://rabindra-rachanabali.nltr.org . No longer do you have to carry along with you the heavy volumes neither do you have to spend money to buy them. Online Rabindra-Rachanabali is free.  The website was released to the public on 27th January 2010 at the Kolkata Bookfair. According to Prof. Anupam Basu the director of SNLTR who spearheaded this project Rabindranath should be accessible to anybody and everybody who wants to read in Bangla.  A professor at the department of Computer Science and Engineering of IIT Kharagpur Anupam leads a series of projects to enable computing in Bangla. He and his team has developed Baishakhi a unicode compliant keyboard that enables one to type in Bangla and also enable web browsers to render Bangla in a clean and uncluttered manner.  The entire Rabindra rachanabali project has been developed using Baishakhi and has been implemented by MAT3 Impex of Kolkata. The project had an initial seed funding from the Govt. of West Bengal and had also received support from several organizations like IIT Kharagpur ISI Kolkata Jadavpur University BESU C-DAC IBM and Microsoft Research India. The Rabindra-Rachanabali site organizes the works of Tagore several categories like poetry songs novels short stories plays essays etc. It also provides an alphabetical index to search for a specific article. However the best feature is the in-built Bangla search engine named Anweshan. It allows the reader to search Tagores writings using Bangla keywords. Keywords can be entered either using the Baishakhi keyboard if you have one installed on your Windows PC or you can use the virtual keyboard provided along with the search engine. I tried it few times and it works like a charm. Click the link on the left side bar titled “Anushandhan” and you can search to your heart’s content. The font Bangla Academy or Vidya layout and the text is also very pleasing to read.  If you don’t have the fonts you may download and install them by clicking the button on the left sidebar. One can move from one page to the other using easy to use navigation buttons. The site also allows you to report any typographical mistakes or any other issues via web based email. The site however   does not allow you to print a whole story as a single file and you’ll have page one page after other. I’d like to request the developers to look into this useful feature.  Another issue is that the articles poems stories does not have the dates associated with them like the way we see them on the printed volumes. Some links are not active yet like “Prakalpa Sammandhe” or “Jogajog” but I think they’ll be active soon. Kudos to Anupam Basu and his team at SNLTR for giving us this wonderful gift in this new year. Next year being the 150th birth anniversary of Tagore this is a very well timed offering to the Bengalis all over the world.
