Jasim Uddin

Since the early decades of the last century, modern Bengali literature swept into the mainstream of world culture through the works of such geniuses as Michael Madhusudan Dutt, Rabindranath Tagore and the rebel poet Kazi Nazrul Islam while poet Jasimuddin's austere lyrical anecdotes-depicting rural life with its joys and sorrows,romance and pathos-kept alive the link with the toiling masses. (The Independent, 28 March 2008)


Many songs as musical ballets - Madhumala, Rupabati, Beder Meya etc are full of musics. Besides in his ballet books he has started every chapter with with songs. He wanted to print Abinranath Tagores paining in his book. But at that time there was not any printing facility to print details of Abinranath Tagore's soft painting. Abinranath Tagore advised Jasim Uddin to write a song at the begining of a chapter. Jasim Uddin followed Tagore's advise. Abinranath Tagore's painting on Nakshi Kathar Math:



He wanted to publish 5 volumes of Folk Songs of Bangladesh.
Bangla Academy published only one volume of his Songs "Jari Gan". Jasim Uddin refused to accept Bangla Academy Award because of their non-coperation of publishing several volumes of Folk Songs. Jasim uddin said that he collected more than 10, 000 thousands folk songs. It is a great national loss as these songs are not documented and interpreted by him. The rich heritage and treasure of bengali folk music and philosophy is found in his books Jari Gan and Murshida Gan. Jasim Uddin used to say if a government committe was reponsible to publish books, none of his books could have been published.
