Our national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam was born of a poor parents in 1899. He used to lead a bohemain life. He completed his primary education in 1909 and joined a local ‘Maktab’ as a teacher in the same year. Nazrul again got himself admitted in Mathrun School of Bardwan in class six.
But he could not prosecute his studies for financial crisis and left for Asansole. He had to work there for his livelihood in a bread factory. In Asansole Nazrul came in contact with a police Sub-inspector, Kazi Rafizullah. Nazrul requested him to make arrangements for his education.
In 1914 Kazi Rafizullah sent Nazrul to his village home at Kazirshimla in Mymensingh. There he got admitted in Darirampur High School in class seven. Nazrul read in that school only for one year and left kazirshimla.
On returning home Nazrul got himself admitted in Raniganj Siarsole High School in class eight in 1915 and continued his studies till 1917. While he was a student of class ten in 1917, he joined the Army putting an end to his formal education. After the Second World War Nazrul came back to Calcutta in 1920.
At the age of 22 he edited the biweekly paper “Dhumketu”, He was sent to Jail for writing “Agnibina.” But he did not stop writing. His contribution to Bengali literature is unfathomable. But it was a pity that our beloved poet had an attack of a strange disease in 1942 which made him silent and self-forgetful. He was sent to England in 1952 for treatment but of no use. One year after the independence he was brought to Bangladesh and since then until his demise in August 26. 1976 he lived in Bangladesh.
