	Following the language movement of 1952, Bengali language, literature and culture was passing through a crisis. It was because of hostile attitude of the Pakistan regime. They resorted to such controversial issues like writing Bangla in Arabic, frequent use of Arabic, Persian and Urdu words in Bangla, discarding Hindu subjects from Bangla literature, avoiding Tagore songs from the mass media and even avoiding Kazi Nazrul Islam';s Shyama sabgeet (songs on Hindu deity Kali). During this cultural crisis, Abdul Hye moved forward with bold steps displaying professional responsibility and moral commitment.
