Hason Raja's property in neglect

Hason Raja’s bungalow in Rampasha is on the verge of ruin

The village Rampasha under Biswanath upazila of Sylhet has the house of the great mystic poet, Hason Raja. His songs might still be celebrated all over Bangladesh, but his house stands there in utmost neglect. People dump garbage near the house and the land is in danger of falling under the clutches of the local influencials. If the house could be restored and maintained, it could attract many visitors and tourists. Great mystic poet Hason Raja has many popular songs. 'Loke bole bolery, ghar bari bala nay amar, ki ghor banaimu ami shunneri majhar', 'agey Jodi janto Hason, bachbo koto din, banaito ghor bari koria rongin' and 'baula ke banailo, hason rajare baula ke banailo re' are some of the popular creations with a unique mystic attachment. These are immensely accepted to the people of all ages.
Hason was born at village Rampasha under Biswanath upazila of Sylhet and passed an important part of his youth there. Huge property of his ancestral Zamindari is spread around the area. Some members of the famous and well-to- do family are in the country and abroad, but the historic village house has been lying uncared for due to utter neglect for long.
Besides, the huge pond in front of the house still remains neglected. Dumping of wastes by some locals is polluting the environment badly. Due to the lack of minimum care, it is about to be ruined. Some local influentials are trying to grab the adjacent land and part of the huge pond.
Locals feel the family members, well placed at home and abroad are not interested in taking care of this property. Every day a good number of people from different areas visit the site. The people in the villge expect that initiatives should be taken to make the site a tourist spot. Cultural events may also be organsied there.
Seeing the poor state of the site, they remember the poet's popular song 'matir o pinjirar majhe bondi hoia rey, kandey Hason Rajar mon monay ray'. The state of the house resembles the song.
