GHAZI MUSTAFA KEMAL.
may allah rest his soul.
Indeed, he was one of the greatest commander of 20th century and a source of inspiration for us, the bengali muslims suffering under british oppression.
"The respect and appreciation for Turkey, Turkish Nation and for Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is reflected in the epic poem "Kemal Pasha," written by Kazi Nazrul Islam, national poet of Bangladesh, in 1921. Kazi Nazrul Islam was the one and only foreign poet who praised Ataturk and Turkish War of Independence with an epic poem at the time. He received the news of the Turkish victory in Sakarya against Greek forces when he was twenty-two years old in India and brought a victory song into life, which resonates in Bengali culture to this day.
Apart from Kazi Nazrul Islam, rebellious poets and writers Kazi Abdul Wadud, Ismail Hossain Siraji, Kazi Motahar Husain and Abul Fazal also supported Ataturk's reformist revolution. Bangladeshi national artist Sheikh Afzal painted a beautiful Ataturk portrait, which is on display in the National Museum. Principal of Dhaka College, Ibrahim Khan wrote a theatrical play named "Kemal Pasha" in 1925 that gained huge success and contributed to the love and respect of the Bengali people toward the Turkish nation and its independence movement led by Ataturk.
Another sign of appreciation for Ataturk and the Republic of Turkey was that 54 days after Ataturk's demise on November 10, 1938, on January 6, 1939, "Ataturk Model High School" was inaugurated in Feni."
