Timeline

1936

Mir Abdus Shukur Al Mahmud (known as Al Mahmud; 11 July 1936 – 15 February 2019) was a Bangladeshi poet, novelist, and short-story writer.

He is considered one of the greatest Bengali poets to have emerged in the 20th century.

His work in Bengali poetry is dominated by his frequent use of regional dialects.

1950

In the 1950s he was among those Bengali poets who were outspoken in their writing on such subjects as the events of the Bengali Language Movement, nationalism, political and economical repression, and the struggle against the West Pakistani government.

Mahmud was born in Morail Village of Brahmanbaria District in present-day Bangladesh.

His childhood and secondary education days were spent in this village which is located adjacent to Brahmanbaria town.

Mahmud started his career as a journalist.

1973

Mahmud's literary work Shonali Kabin published in 1973, is considered as a landmark of Bengali poetry.

Philosopher Sibnarayan Ray commented:

"Al Mahmud has an extraordinary gift for telescopic discrete levels of experience; in his poems I find a marvelous fusion and wit which reminds me occasionally of Bishnu Dey. The complete secularism of his approach is also striking…he was born and brought up in a very conservative Muslim religious family; it is not a secularism forced by some ideology, but present naturally and ubiquitously in his metaphors, images and themes."

• Shonali Kabin (1973)
