Imtiaz Mahmud is a famous Bangladeshi Bengali poet who also is an admin cadre of the Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS).[1]
Imtiaz currently is one of the leading poets of the Bengali Language equally famous in both Bangladesh and West Bengal. His ideology, use of language and analogy, and beautiful portrayal of unorthodox ideas took him to a level of envy in contemporary Bengali literature.[1] His writings had immensely inspired the recent (July Revolution 2024) Student-led movement that ousted the Hasina Govt. in Bangladesh.[2]
Early life
[edit]In 2006 Imtiaz joined the Bangladesh Civil Service.[3]
Literary style and works
[edit]The diversity of modern Bengali Poetry has been widened significantly in the last two decades of the previous century. And Imtiaz Mahmud is probably one of the best examples of this belief. The changes in socio-economic, technological, cultural, and political scenarios of Bengal region (especially after the partition of 1947) have impacted Bengali Literature a lot from that of the classic Bengali Authors like Tagore and his era.[4] Poets are found in contrast to their Literary character with their personal character, but the school where Imtiaz belongs is different. Critics consider him to be an admirer of staying by himself or detached from public programs, which in his writings he portrays vividly.[5]
Awards
[edit]Imtiaz was acknowledged with the Sunil Gangopadhyay Memorial "Krittibas Literary Awards" 2016 for his incredible literary work in "পেন্টাকল / in English: Pentacle" (2015).[6]
