&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;p class=Normal &amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Hussain, Abul&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1896-1938)&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;writer, intellectual and social activist, was born on 6 January 1896 at the home of his maternal uncle in Panisara in [[jessore]]. His paternal residence was at Kauria in Jessore. His father, Haji Mohammad Musa, was an Islamic scholar. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;p class=Normal &amp;gt;Abul Hussain passed the Matriculation examination from Jessore Zila School in 1914. He passed IA and BA from Presidency College, Kolkata, and MA in Economics (1920), BL (1922) and ML (1931) from the University of Calcutta. In 1920 he started teaching at Hare School. In 1921, he joined the Economics Department of the newly opened [[university of dhaka]] as lecturer. He also served as house tutor of Muslim Hall. In 1932, he resigned from the university and joined the Calcutta High Court as an advocate. He was responsible for drawing up the main draft of the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;W&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;qf&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Law, which was passed by the Bengal Legislative Assembly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;p class=Normal &amp;gt;Abul Hussain wrote several books to foster the growth of modern education among the Muslim society of Bengal. In the essays of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Banglar Balsh&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;i&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, he mainly showed how to achieve liberation for the peasant society. Inspired by the French Revolution, he wrote about the plight of the working classes in several essays, such as: &amp;#039;Krsaker Artanad&amp;#039;; (The Peasant&amp;#039;;s Lament), &amp;#039;Krsaker Durdasha&amp;#039;; (The Peasant&amp;#039;;s Plight) and &amp;#039;Krsi Biplaber Suchana&amp;#039;; (The Beginning of the Agricultural Revolution). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;p class=Normal &amp;gt;Abul Hussain was the moving spirit behind the [[buddhir mukti andolan]] (movement for freedom of thought), which originated from the [[university of]] [[dhaka]] and whose motto was &amp;#039;Where knowledge is limited and intellect thwarted, freedom is absurd&amp;#039;;. He gave a constitutional shape to this movement in 1926 by forming the [[muslim sahitya samaj]] (Muslim Literary Society) in Dhaka. He also edited its mouthpiece, [[shikha]]. Among his associates were [[kazi abdul wadud]], [[quazi motahar husain]], [[muhammad shahidullah]] and [[abul fazal]]. As a leading member of this group, which believed in freedom of thought, Abul Hussain was ostracized by the conservative Muslim society of Dhaka city. He ultimately had to resign from his university position and move to Kolkata. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;lt;p class=Normal &amp;gt;Apart from &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Banglar Balsi&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1925), Abul Hussain also wrote several other books which reflect his liberal outlook: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Bangali Mussulm&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;nder Shiks&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Samasy&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1928), &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Muslim Culture&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1928), &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Banglar Nad&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;i&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Samasya&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Shatkar&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Payt&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;llisher Jer&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Sud-Rib&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; O Rew&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;Ni&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;s&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;edher Biramban&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Helots of Bengal&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Religion of Helots of Bengal&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Development of Muslim Law in British India&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, etc. Abul Hussain&amp;#039;;s writings have been published by the [[bangla academy]] in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Abul Hussainer Rachan&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;bal&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;i&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.
