A website on poet Jasimuddin
I have come across this website quite accidentally but must say this is a space worth a visit, a website solely dedicated to poet Jasim Uddin..
Verrier Elwin (1902–1964; self-trained anthropologist, ethnologist and 'tribal' activist, who began his career in India as a Christian missionary) commented on Jasim Uddin and I quote from the website:
“Jasim Uddin knows every fact of village life in Bengal and is partial to rural people. The heroes of his poems and stories are farmers, fishermen, boatmen, weavers, cowherds, even roadside barbers, wandering gypsies, palmists and astrologers”
So look for yourself and review this site!
