Kobi Almahumd ki Freedom Fighter Chilen ?
Dear All
If "just going to Calcutta in 1971 makes one a freedom-fighter" is the
definition of a Muktijuddha then it fits Al Mahmood very well ... with this
definition Al Mahmood was a great freedom fighter !!!!!!!!!
Al Mahmood, then a young man in his thirties, did not join actively, in the
Liberation War efforts, either in the border area or in-side the country as
an Urban Guerrilla .......
In 1971 Al Mahmood was a frequent vistitor to the College Street Coffee
House and in Sonagachi in Calcutta (the then Kolkata) and had lots of fun.
He even got involved in a s-scandal that brought much shame for
Bangladeshi-youths.
Oh yes, Al Mahmood definitely needed a certificate from a Jamaat
sponsored parishad to be a freedom fighter !
[Yes what a great freedom fighter he was ??????????????]
What are his creating writings and Poems to qualify him even as a
War Poet? A War Poet is a poet writing in time of and on the subject
of war..... World literature shows us many poets who has faught
in the war fronts with weapons in their arms and or writing about patriotic
wars..
On the other hand, Poet Shamsur Rahman's wrote his famous poem
"Asader Shirt" which was written with respect to the mass uprising
of 1969 . During the Bangladesh War of Liberation, he wrote a number
of extra ordinary poems based on the war.
Does it matter, that he stayed in Dhaka?
Poet Shamsur Rahman made his contribution in his capacity
for our liberation and made our nation greatly indebted to him ....
These poems were so inspiring that they were recited at the camps of
freedom fighters and Shadhin Bangla Betar ....
Later these poems were published in "Bondi Shibir Theke"
(Tr. From Confinement in Enemy Territory) in 1972. During the historical
movement against Ershad Shamsur Rahman published his book
"Buk Tar Bangladesher Hridoy" indicating the great sacrifice of
Nur Hossain [Sairachar nipat jak, Ganatantra mukti pak ]
Poet Shmsur Rahman's most famous poem, is a poem written in 1971 during the liberation war in Bangladesh.
স্বাধীনতা তুমি
স্বাধীনতা তুমি রবি ঠাকুরের অজর কবিতা, অবিনাশী গান
স্বাধীনতা তুমি কাজী নজরুল, ঝাকড়া চুলের বাবরি দোলানো মহান পুরুষ
সৃষ্টি সুখের উল্লাশে কাঁপা
Shadhinota Tumi
Shadhinota tumi Robi Ţhakurer ôjor kobita, obinashi gan
Shadhinota tumi Kazi Nozrul, jhakŗa chuler babri dolano môhan purush
srishţi-shukher ullashe kãpa ...
Freedom, You
Freedom, you are the immortal poems and songs of Rabindranath
Freedom, you are Kazi Nazrul, the great man with waving unkempt hair,
raptured in your joy of creation ...
During 1990s.he becamea frequent target of the reactionary politicians
as well as the Islam-passands of the country. This culminated in the
January 1999 attack on his life by the militan Islamist.
He survived the attempt.
Poet Shamsur Rahman recived Ekushe Podok in 1977 during
Ziaur Rahman's regime for his contribution to Bangla literature.
He was never declared a Muktijudha , even though his contribution
to our war of independence was tremendous.
Again, Shamsur Rahman's participation in our War of Independence
is revealed through his poems in "Bondi Shibir Theke"
