Rebel Poet
May 25 was the birth anniversary of our National Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam. Throughout his life, he fought for humanity. His works are our national assets. He believed in equality and universal brotherhood. He was above all kinds of narrowness.
But this man suffered a lot. Poverty never left him. The early death of his son Bulbul broke his heart. He also had to face harsh criticism. Despite heartless criticism, his popularity as "Rebel Poet" rose sharply.
He believed in religious harmony. He said in his editorial in "Yuga Bani", "Come brother Hindu! Come Muslim! Come Buddhist! Come Christian! Let us forsake all smallness, all lies, all selfishness.”
We love him and his philosophy.
