The 43rd death anniversary of poet Kazi Nazrul Islam was recently observed in Bangladesh.
About:
Born in 1899 near Asansol in West Bengal, Kazi Nazrul was a versatile genius who criticised the British Raj and called for revolution through his poetic works, such as "Bidrohi" and "Bhangar Gaan" as well as in his publication Dhumketu.
His nationalist activism in Indian independence movement led to his frequent imprisonment by the colonial British authorities. While in prison, Nazrul wrote the "Rajbandir Jabanbandi."
Known as the Rebel Poet or Bidrohi Kobi, Nazrul wrote nearly 3000 songs and composed many of them which are known as Nazrul Geeti. His poems were a source of inspiration during the liberation war of Bangladesh.
At the time of Bangladesh's independence in 1971 poet Nazrul was staying in Kolkata. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman brought him to Dhaka with state honours. He died in 1976.
