Abdur Rouf Choudhury

Abdur Rouf Choudhury was born on 1 March 1929, in Mukimpur, Nabiganj, Habiganj District, Bangladesh (then part of Assam) where his father Azhar Choudhury, a land owner, and his mother Nazmun Nesa Choudhury, a housewife resided.

In his contributions to Bengali literature, the writer and philosopher Choudhury depicted a transparent portrait of modern Bengali life abroad. He was a scholar of science, with great intellectual abilities and eloquent of both pen and speech.

He carried on his revolution by revealing revelations of all surviving social practices and norms. Unlike many others of his stature, Choudhury as a man towers far above Choudhury as a writer.
