My favourite author is Kazi Nazrul Islam. He is the national poet of Bangladesh. He is well Kenon as the Rebel poet in Bengali literature. He was born at Churulia, in Asansol.

His father's name was Kazi Fakir Ahmad and his mother's name was Zaheda Khatun. His parents lost four children before his birth. so, they gave him the nick name Dhuku Mia.

In his early life Nazrul lost his mother. For this he had struggle hard against poverty. In his boyhood he was very precocious and naughty. He was admitted to a local primary school.  But he did not obey the hard and fast rule of the school. He troubled the villagers with his boyish wicked deeds. The villagers called him "Khepa". After passing the  village Maktab. There he taught the village children the holy Quran. He also became a muazzian. At this time he became well acquainted with Islamic lore which influenced his later literary works to a great extent. He also entertained the village people through theatrical party known as "Letto" and earned name and fame.

At twelve he fled away from home and took job of a baker boy and for that he got take 5 per month. At this time he drew the attention of a Muslim sub-inspector of police. He took Nazrul to this own village home and got him admitted into a high school. The first world war broke out. He joined the war and become a Havilder. 

Nazrul writings were full of hope, energy, aspiration and result. His writings awakened the sleeping people of this subcontinent. It was Nazrul through whom the people began to hope for a better future. He made them conscious of their rights. He helped them to fight for independence and break the bondage of slavery and fetters of subjugation.
