He was the first to make poems talking about intense spiritual rebellion against [[fascism]] and oppression. Nazrul is the [[national poet]] of [[Bangladesh]].<ref name="Banglapedia">{{cite book |last=Islam |first=Rafiqul |year=2012 |chapter=Kazi Nazrul Islam |chapter-url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Islam,_Kazi_Nazrul |editor1-last=Islam |editor1-first=Sirajul |editor1-link=Sirajul Islam |editor2-last=Jamal |editor2-first=Ahmed A. |title=Banglapedia: National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh |edition=Second |publisher=[[Asiatic Society of Bangladesh]] |access-date=26 March 2016}}</ref> He is commemorated in [[India]].

He was born into a [[Muslim]] family in India, Nazrul received religious education. He worked as a [[muezzin]] at a local [[mosque]].

He was against the [[British Raj]] in India. He talked about revolution through his poetic works. Some examples are "Bidrohi" ("The Rebel") and "Bhangar Gaan" ("The Song of Destruction"), as well as his publication "Dhumketu" ("The Comet"). His work in the [[Indian independence movement]] often led to going to jail by British authorities. While in prison, Nazrul wrote the "Rajbandir Jabanbandi" ("Deposition of a Political Prisoner").
