Since the early decades of the last century, modern Bengali literature swept into the mainstream of world culture through the works of such geniuses as Michael Madhusudan Dutt, Rabindranath Tagore and the rebel poet Kazi Nazrul Islam while poet Jasimuddin's austere lyrical anecdotes-depicting rural life with its joys and sorrows,romance and pathos-kept alive the link with the toiling masses.

(The Independent, 28 March 2008) Jasim Uddin is proud of belonging to the folk tradition of Bengali literature. He was pleased by a recent comment of one critic who, praising his autobiography, said: 'Reading Jasim Uddin's Jiban Katha (autobiography) is like eating country cakes from mother's own hand.' In a foreword to the translation of Nakshi Kathar Math, Mr Verrier Elwin writes, 'I do not know whether The Field of the Embroidered Quilt can be classed as folk-poetry, but it is obviously poetry about the folk. After nearly ten years of village life I find every detail of the picture, every turn of the story, waking a response in my mind.' What Mr Elwin says of The Field can also be said of Gipsy Wharf. The two poems were written within four years of each other, while Jasim Uddin was still at Calcutta University, doing research under the famous Bengali scholar, Dr Dinesh Chandra Sen. Gipsy Wharf benefited from Dr Sen's comments as well,as those of the famous writer and painter Abanindra Nath Tagore. The literature of this land (Bengal) is not merely Hindu literature, nor can it be said to be a Moslem literature. Since both Hindus and Moslems have written in one language (Bengali), the literature of this land is both Hindu and Moslem. Those who would separate the two and make literature will not last many days, I am sure. Because of the universality of appeal in the world of literature, sectarian thought is out of place there. If my own writing has achieved anything of universal appeal, then it is thanks to that sannasi' (Jibon Katha, 1964). Jasim Uddin's poetry has a new trend, a new taste and a new langugage Rabinranath Tagore His poetry appears like the breeze from the countryside that that cools the sighs and sweats of urban living. He is congratulated for creating a new school of poetry. Dr. Dinesh Chandra Sen, Head of the Department of Bengali, Unversity of Calcutta. I read the poem with growing excitement and have returned it again and again to be delighted by its simplicity, and deep humanity. Verrier Elwin, Introduction to The Field of the Embrroideredv Quilt. If the sound of your flute Moves the water in my pitcher I shall put it to sleep By ringing my bracelet. How shall I tame my tears? Tell me, my love when you play your flute slowly, slowly.
