Legendary Bangladeshi poet dies
August 23, 2006
One of Bangladesh's most acclaimed poets, Shamsur Rahman, has died in Dhaka at the age of 77.
Rahman was considered by many to be Bangladesh's greatest contemporary poet, with 60 poetry books to his name. His campaign for political and social justice made him an iconic figure among liberals, but he was criticised by conservative religious factions.
