Kazi Nazrul Islam, popularly known as rebel poet (Vidrohi Kabi), was born on the 25th May 1898 at Churulia in the district of Burdwan, West Bengal, India. He was an exceptional talented person in Bangla literature. This patriot, poet, composer writer, political figure or the myriad minded man edited a politico-cultural magazine "Dhumketu".
At the instance of Sheikh Mujibor Rahman, the rebel poet Kazi Nazrul Islam was crowned in 1972 as the national poet of Bangladesh. On 24th May, 1972 at the special invitation of the government of Bangladesh the poet and his family were brought to Dhaka.
Nazrul's birthday - Nazrul Islam's main theme was humanity .....
In the ultimate analysis Kazi Nazrul Islam was a poet of humanism, secularism, non-comunalism and religious tolerance.In his Islamic songs, he (Nazrul) articulated praises of Allah and his Prophet (PBUH). He depicted each and every ritual of Islam and wrote songs on Ramadan, Eid, Zakat, Shab-e-Barat, Ashura, which were hitherto unknown in Bengali literature. At that time he found the entire Muslim community in India lacking in spirit and to raise their morale and imbibe the seeds of progress, he sang out loud: Bajiche damama bandh re amama Shir uchu kori Musalman ..... Similarly, Nazrul in his Shyama Sangeet and other Hindu devotional songs, he profusely wrote about the various deities and weaved picturesque images of mythological events.
The underlying message was that each religion has its own beauty, own doctrines and one is not necessarily the opponent of the other. He clearly indicated that in times of deep crisis humanity is the religion to be practiced
During the Hindu-Muslim riots, he wrote:
Mora eki brinte duti kushum Hindu Musalman, Muslim tar noyonmoni Hindu tahar pran
'Hindu na ora Muslim' ? ore giggashe kon jon?
Kandari! Bolo dubiche manush shontan mor mar.
(Hindu or Muslim? Who is asking so?
Captain! Say men are drowning, all my mother's offspring)

Kazi Nazrul Islam's main theme is Humanity, not religion-trading in the name of Hinduism or Islam [ two sides of the same "Fecal Matter" ] :
Why Bidrohi Kobi Nazrul's following famous song is not heard in Bangladesh anymore:
"Bajiche Damama Bajre Amama shir uchu kore musolman
Dawat esheche noya jomanar Bhanga killai ure nishan"
Why other popular song also unofficially banned in Bangladesh:
"Age janle tor Bhanga Noukai chortam no "
Can anyone comment on those two popular songs ?

Poet Nazrul Islam was a world class poet. His main themes were two .One was struggle against British imperialism .He fought for independence of the sub continent from British. He suffered even jail sentence for that. He was for Indian nationalism in political sense. Like Poet Rabindranath , he also did not preach Bengali nationalism. Of course he became paralyzed and dumb before Pakistan movement took its shape in 1940 onwards.
His second important theme was Islam. He wanted to inspire Muslims. He wrote a large number of Naat, Hamd and Patriotic Islamic songs in addition to writing a biography of the Prophet in verse. He also translated Amma para of the Quran in verse. He wrote also many songs, romantic and Islamic.

The 112th birth anniversary of national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam will be celebrated across the country today.
Nazrul, the rebel poet of Bengali literature, was born at Churulia in Burdwan district of West Bengal on this day in 1899.
Through his poems, Nazrul had inspired people to fight against injustice and repression during the British colonial rule. His songs and poems were also a major source of inspiration for the freedom fighters during the Liberation War in 1971.
As part of the national celebration, the three-day main programme will be held at Darirampur under Trishal in Mymensingh. President Zillur Rahman is expected to inaugurate the function.
This is the first time the national poet's birth anniversary is being observed officially in all districts of the country at the initiative of the Cultural Affairs Ministry.
The poet's birth anniversary is being celebrated with special importance this year as his extraordinary creation 'Bidrohi' (poem 'Rebel') completes its 90th year.
President Zillur Rahman, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia have given separate special messages describing the colourful life of the great poet and his contributions to the Bengali language and literature.
President Zillur said, "He was a fighter, a social reformer and a proponent of nationalism, and at the same time an worshiper of love and pioneer of equality and peace."
In her message, Prime Minister Hasina said, Kazi Nazrul Islam was a poet of equality, humanity, love, youth and rebellion. His works immensely enriched Bangla language, literature, music, society and culture.
"He is the 'rebel poet' and the 'bulbul' (nightingale) of modern Bangla songs," she said.
Opposition Leader Khaleda Zia in her message said Kazi Nazrul Islam's writings would inspire every people to love the motherland.
Different socio-cultural and political organisations will place wreath at the poet's tomb on Dhaka University campus in the morning.
Special programmes on Nazrul's works including his plays, poetry and songs will be broadcast by TV channels and radio stations marking the national poet's birthday.
