KaziNazrulIslam, known as the Rebel' poet in Bengali literature and the Bulbul' (Nightingale) of Bengali music, was one of the most colourful personalities of undivided Bengal between 1920 and 1940.
Nazrul continued his literary and musical activities even in the army, publishing his first piece' The Autobiography of a Delinquent (Saogat, May 1919) and his first poem, Freedom Bangiya Musalman Sahitya-patrika, (July 1919), in addition to other works composed when he was posted in the Karachi cantonment.
To uphold the memories of KaziNazrulIslam, the national poet of Bangladesh, Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation and Nazrul Institute have jointly launched a tour programme at places with the memories of the poet at Trishal recently.
KaziNazrulIslam was born in the village of Churulia in the Burdwan District in the province of Bengal (now located in the Indian state of West Bengal)..) Second of three sons and a daughter, Nazrul's father, Kazi Fakir Ahmed was the imam and caretaker of the local mosque and mausoleum.
In 1921, Nazrul was engaged to be married to Nargis, the niece of a well-known Muslim publisher Ali Akbar Khan, in Daulatpur, Comilla.
Nazrul is considered to have been one of the most brilliant exponents of Shaktism, a form of Hinduism widely practised in Bengal and Assam..) Nazrul's poetry imbibed the passion and creativity of Shakti, which is identified as the Brahman, the personification of primordial energy.
