Shobdomukur Birth Anniversary

Humayun Azad

Humayun Azad was an uncompromising explorer of Bangla language and literature. He was born on 28 April 1947 (14 Boishakh 1354 Bengali calendar) in Shrinagar Upazila of present-day Munshiganj. 

This distinguished intellectual was simultaneously a poet, novelist, linguist, researcher, writer of children’s literature, and a deeply critical and socially conscious thinker. His body of work was as diverse as it was intellectually expansive. 

In his literary and intellectual world, Humayun Azad initiated a fearless revolution, where hypocrisy, dogmatism, and the masks of social conservatism were stripped away to reveal harsh realities. He brought a new voice to discussions on secularism, feminism, sexuality, and progressiveness.

Through his writings, he continuously sought the inner truth of human existence. In linguistics, he approached the Bangla language through a modern analytical lens. His children’s literature carried simplicity, clarity, and the dream of liberation.

He was a true advocate of free thinking and a visionary of equality. On his birth anniversary, we offer him our deepest respect.

  Legal Advice column  by Tanzina Fardoush LAW & RIGHTS Inheritance Law in Case of a Father's Death Preceding the Grandfather (published in Shobdo Mukur e-mag Ashar edition. Full version and monthly columns are available in shobdomukur.com) Sharia Law: According to Islamic Sharia law, if a father dies before his own father (i.e., the grandfather is still alive), the children of the deceased father are not entitled to inherit from the grandfather's property. Muslim Family Law Ordinance: However, Section 4 of the Muslim Family Law Ordinance of 1961 provides a different approach. It states that if a father dies during the lifetime of his father, then his children (i.e., the grandchildren) shall inherit from the grandfather after his death, representing their deceased parent's share. The children will inherit exactly what their father or mother would have inherited had they been alive. This rule applies equally to both sons and daughters- there is no discrimination based on...

  আমজাদ হোসাইনের মানবতা কলাম ধর্মীয় আলোকে জীবনধারা দৈনন্দিন জীবনে ধর্মীয় সম্প্রীতি ও দর্শন মানব সভ্যতার ইতিহাসে ধর্মীয় উৎসবগুলোর আবির্ভাব ঘটেছে শুধুমাত্র আধ্যাত্মিক আনন্দ পূরণের উপলক্ষ হিসেবে নয়, বরং এর নেপথ্যে রয়েছে গভীর তাৎপর্য। বলা বাহুল্য হলো, এটি সামাজিক ও সাংস্কৃতিক সম্প্রীতিরও এক অনন্য সেতুবন্ধন হিসেবে সমাজে ভূমিকা রাখে। এই উৎসবগুলো আমাদেরকে পরস্পর ভিন্নতা ভুলে একই মানবিক মূল্যবোধের আলোকে একত্রিত করে। আজকের পৃথিবী যখন সীমাহীন বিভেদ ও সংঘাতের দিকে এগিয়ে যাচ্ছে, তখন ধর্মীয় উৎসবগুলো আমাদেরকে মনে করিয়ে দেয় যে আমরা সবাই একই মানব পরিবারের অংশ।  ইসলাম, হিন্দুধর্ম, খ্রিষ্টান ধর্ম, বৌদ্ধ ধর্মসহ সকল ধর্মের উৎসবগুলো এই একই সম্প্রীতির বার্তাই বহন করে। বিশেষ করে আমাদের ইসলাম ধর্মের উৎসবগুলো সামাজিক ঐক্য ও সম্প্রীতির এক অনন্য দৃষ্টান্ত। ঈদুল ফিতর তেমনই একটি উজ্জ্বল উদাহরণ। রমজান মাসের রোজা শেষে ঈদ আমাদের মাঝে আসে সীমাহীন আনন্দ, কৃতজ্ঞতা ও সম্প্রীতির বার্তা নিয়ে। ঈদের দিনে মুসলিমরা শুধু নিজের পরিবারদের নিয়েই নয়, প্রতিবেশী, বন্ধু-বান্ধব এবং সমাজের দরিদ্রদের সঙ্গেও আনন্দ ভাগ করে ...
