&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Alam, Ohidul&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1911-1998) writer and journalist, was born on 1 January 1911 in the village of Fateyabad in [[hathazari]] thana (now upazila). He formed a cultural circle in Chittagong with his eldest brother, [[mahbub-ul alam]], Didarul Alam and other writers of his family. Though Ohidul Alam belonged to a fairly conservative family, literary personalities like [[kazi nazrul islam]], [[abdul quadir]], and Habibullah Chowdhury often visited his home. Ohidul Alam thus grew up in a very enlightened atmosphere. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ohidul Alam completed his BA in 1936 and BEd in 1940 and then taught at different schools in [[chittagong]]. At the same time he was writing stories and essays. He was also associated with the world of journals and newspapers. One of his most significant associations was with the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Purabi&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, which created a base for folk literature and practice of folk traditions. He also edited the periodical &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Deshkal&amp;#039;&amp;#039; from 1974 till his death. For some time he was associated with the weekly &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Satyabarta&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and the daily&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Nay&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Jam&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;n&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039; which were published from Chittagong. He also served as a news editor in the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Daily Purba Pakistan&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, which belonged to his relative, the poet Abdus Salam. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ohidul Alam wrote in a variety of genres. One of his earliest pieces of writing was &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Karnafulir&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;M&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;jhi&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1946), poems written in the style of [[jasimuddin]]&amp;#039;;s folk ballads. His subsequent poetical work includes &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Baksu&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Fakir&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Kavyasamagra&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1979), a collection of his poems. Among Ohidul Alam&amp;#039;;s prose works are &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Prthibir Pathik&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1972), a remarkable biography written in the style of the novee. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;B&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;ngl&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; J&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;i&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;ban&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;i&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;ko&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;s&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1987), another important work, contains the biographies of about six hundred persons associated with literature, arts, philosophy and social work. &lt;br /&gt;
