Known as the "Rebel Poet," Nazrul's legacy is rooted in his fiery defiance against British colonial rule and his contributions to the cultural renaissance in India.

In this memoir, Muzaffar Ahmad, a prominent communist leader and freedom fighter, recounts his close association with Nazrul, shedding light on their shared moments during the poet's youth. Muzaffar Ahmad, also known as Kakababu, was not only a companion but also one of the first readers of many of Nazrul’s poems and songs.

The book is not merely a biography but a personal narrative that provides rare insights into Nazrul’s personality, creative genius, and his fierce patriotism.
