"I am glad Sheikh Mujibur Rahman rescued him from West Bengal"
As far as I know, he was not living in West Bengal jail? Both of sons were very very prominent and doing very well. Do not tell me that they were dismally poor? How could a poor state honor this poet more? More money for his family? I do not understand this BS. Did we really honor him that much better than West Bengal? How many Nazruls have created in comparison to that damn racist West Bengal?

I agree with your understanding of Nazrul. Just wanted to add my thoughts here. I do not feel that, there is anything wrong with being a Muslim poet.
However Nazrul had this rare ability to offer a lot for almost all people. Despite faith background no one was neglected by him. Which was the case for most other intellectuals of his time. Hindu intellectuals did not mention Muslims in their poem, prose etc. Sometime portrayed them badly. Some Muslim intellectuals ONLY focused on Muslims and Islam.
Nazrul on the other hand cared for everyone and his identity as a POET, WRITER and a patriot was most prominent. He did not sell his soul to publishers and kept giving to common people as long he was capable.
I am glad Sheikh Mujibur Rahman rescued him from West Bengal and tried his level best to honor him.
I feel it is OK to follow our religions of choice but it should not stop us from caring for each other or speaking truth when it helps our people.
Shalom!

Kazi Nazrul Islam was born in a Muslim family; that was his only tie with the religion. He was neither a Muslim nor a Hindu by heart; he was a religious libertarian. His Shyama Sangit, Kirtan, Kawali, Gazzal, etc. bear hallmarks of religious libertarianism. He was a model secular person, and a sociopolitical revolutionary.
There is no doubt that - Indian cultural/literary society purged him for unexplained reasons. His model secular personality could have been so helpful in India in promoting secularism. I hope that, Bangladesh will not make the same mistake by promoting him as a Muslim-Poet, which he was not. It will be a blatant mischaracterization of such a revered secular personality. Also, it will be a gross betrayal with his departed soul, which can no longer revolt against such injustices, as he did in all his life.

The main problem for Islamist is that they lack the brain power and intellectual confidence in public. They need Nazruls and infidels like Sharmilla Boses for their cause. Most of them are totally illiterates and smell awfully bad in public. Politically correct left and Islamist have finally found each other just to survive for another day. But, the fate has already been written on the wall!

Actually, the great humanist poet, Kazi Nazrul Islam, has been seriously abused in Bangladesh. A large segment of the Bangladeshi intelligentsia has tried to make him their Muslim poet.
The so-called secular and communist politicians of West Bengal were also too callous about this great soul. They allowed their truly humanist poet to be used, due to his disabled brain, by the Islamists of Bangladesh, led by the military dictator, Ziaur Rahman.

............ We have seen enough of Rabidra-Nazrul politics from Pakistani/ BNP and Jamat sides. Could not Monem bring Nazrul to Bangladesh to show his brotherly love for this great poet? I hate to see these kind of crocodile tears from the Islamist who suddenly need to find their own Muslim poet. If Nazrul were alive, he would hated these imbeciles from his guts.

Out of those amazing poems some will be blasphemous in nature. I don't think Islamic clerics will like them. He wrote many more "Hindu" songs than Islamic songs. Orthodox Muslim society has its own justification to boycott or denounce him.
Have we not shown due respect to Nazrul? What else could be done? Any suggestions.
