Syed Waliullah's Stories: Society and Reflections on Life Md. Abu Bakar Siddique, Lecturer, Dept. of Bengali, Madhabdi College, Madhabdi, Narsingdi, Bangladesh | ||
ABSTRACT | ||
Syed Waliullah (1922-1971) is one of the pioneers of modern art in short stories in Bangladesh. He emerged in Bengali literature in the 1940s. Syed Waliullah's first collection of stories is Nayanchara (1945). Nayanchara's stories can be divided into two main categories according to their subject matter and the depth of the author's imagination. The first category includes 'Nayanchara', 'Mrityu-Jatra', 'Rakta', and 'Sei Prithibha'. In the four stories mentioned above, Syed Waliullah has beautifully portrayed the 'pain, anguish, and sadness of the famine-stricken people' of his time. The stories marked in the second category are basically realistic stories of the lives of the people living close to the soil of river-rich East Bengal, their joyless and hopeful lives. The stories in this series are ‘Jahazi’, ‘Parajoy’, and ‘Khuni’. In Nayanchara, he has brought talented people from the lowest strata of society and made them represent their own class. Syed Waliullah Nayanchara’s subject matter is conscious of time and society and human responsibility, and his aesthetic creation is artistic and modern in its knowledge. Syed Waliullah’s multidimensional life inquiry has been revealed in the book Duhi Tir O Anano Galpo (1965), published in the mid-sixties. The pain of rootlessness of people wandering against the backdrop of time and history has found an impeccable form in this book. The touching experience of the historical crisis caused by the partition, famine (1943), the journey of man and death, along with the isolation of the individual, are the themes of his story of Naishang Waliullah. However, anyone can understand through reading that the author is strongly aware of the times in Duhi Teer and Anano Galpo. Like a dispassionate seer, he has witnessed the cruel fate of history and realized the boundless calamity and humiliation of the people who are driven by fate. The Second World War (1939-1945), the terrible images of death, economic depression, dangerous times, and famine have emerged in Duhi Teer and Anano Galpo. | ||
