Ahmad Safa

Ahmad Safa is one of the mighty writers of this soil. Once Muhammad jafar iqbal wrote somewhere that there may be someone more famous than Ahmad safa or someone with better writing skill, but it is Ahmad safa who is the most pure writer. Perhaps that is what he was, 100% writer.
Well, if we say that he was only a writer than this probably would be the worst judgment for someone as dynamic as Ahmad Safa was. He did almost everything that he felt it was there to be done. Perhaps his that habit restricted him from concentrating on a particular field.

He was more than a writer. He was a philosopher, political activist, entrepreneur of different programs like school for underprivileged children and community for non communal writer.

Ahmad Safa was a person who was driven only by his heart. Unlike many of his contemporary, he refused to bow down to evil. He was rather driven by his sense of right and wrong. And liker many of all-time greats, he was never happy with his works. Even though we now find how remarkable they actually are.

But like many other great writers his artwork was not evaluated properly during his lifetime. And he was just not worried about that. He commented on several interviews that his work will slowly be evaluated and it will get its proper reward only after his death.

For all great writers there is a paragraph allotted for the prizes that he received. But Bangladesh is perhaps a wrong country to own such a great writer. He was not selected for any kind of government awards. Perhaps that was the best reword offered to him. The declining morality of a society simply shown its back to a great genius and thereby widens the way of his immortality in the world which is beyond the boundary of a small piece of land or nation.
