English Fakir lalon shai
Fakir Lalon Shai (1774 – 17 October 1890) — also known as Lalon Sai, Lalon Shah or Mahatma Lalon — was a Bengali of many talents: a spiritual Baul sadhak, humanist, social reformer and philosopher. He was the lyricist, composer and singer of countless songs, celebrated as a pioneer of Baul music and as the "Baul Emperor". Through his songs Baul music became widely popular in the nineteenth century, and his humanist vision — placing humanity above every division of religion, caste and creed — still guides the mystic tradition of Kushtia.

Baul Emperor Fakir Lalon Shahiji is a unique sage of the spiritual, cultural and humanist consciousness of Bengal and the Bengali. His life, philosophy and songs still teach people to rise above caste, religion, colour, class and division and to love people. His immortal creations are not only the wealth of Bengal's folk music; rather, they are a deep philosophical inquiry into human life, self-identity, love, equality and liberation.

Humanism is a very modern philosophy and the fruit of the modern Renaissance. Humanism is the synonym of the Latin word Humanism. It means an interest in humane matters, a philosophical doctrine of principles for the welfare of mankind. Setting aside theology, the pursuit of human welfare purely in a worldly context is its chiefest purpose. Though the Greek philosopher Protagoras was the first to speak of humanism in the fifth century BC, still, until before the Renaissance this humanism was not practised so strongly in Europe. The keynote of the Renaissance is human dignity, the re-establishment of reason and free inquiry, and freeing the intellect within rationalism. Renaissance means rising anew. The logical liberation of the human intellect. The history of the Renaissance is therefore a history of beginning anew - a history of the liberation of reason and imagination.

The bank of the Kaliganga, the closing years of the eighteenth century - Lalon was then a young man. In the bushes lay a burnt, charred, unconscious body by the river - those who had thrown him away had left him for dead; in that age, to be thrown in the bushes was all but certain death, and those who cast him out took it for granted that this body would not survive. That body was lifted, cleaned, and carried away by Fakir Dampati Molom Shah of Cheuria and his wife Matijan. And from that discarded body was born the greatest sage-poet of the subcontinent - Fakir Lalon Shahiji, who is believed to have lived almost a hundred and sixteen years.

A person's identity lies in humanity; man's liberation lies in self-realisation — this eternal truth has surfaced again and again in the songs and philosophy of Baul Samrat Fakir Lalon Shah. The lesson Lalon left of seeing man as man, rising above caste, religious divide and narrowness, remains equally relevant today.

Will Kushtia one day stand established not merely as a district on Bangladesh's map, but as an internationally known centre of Lalon Shahiji's humanist philosophy, Baul music, folk heritage and cultural tourism? The question is not new. But after the plan to build a 'City of Lalon' came up at the memorial festival held at Cheuria in Kushtia on the occasion of Fakir Lalon Shahiji's 136th Tirodhan Dibas in October 2026, the matter has come into fresh discussion.
