Like ten other villages of an Indian nationhood ravaged under the shackles of British subjugation, the memory-laden village of Hatsh Haripur of Bengal. A step away is the kuthi (indigo factory house) of Shilaidaha. On one side of it is Fakir Lalon Shah, and beside it Kumarkhali, steeped in the memories of Mir Mosharraf, Kangal Harinath and Akshay Kumar Maitreya. And on the other side, Sri Sri Anukul Thakur. On one side the beckoning Padma; and Haripur lies within the embrace of the Gorai that runs along its banks. Jaher Ali Mia was born in this village in 1918.
