Fascism in Bangladesh: Reflection of Anti-Fascist Sentiment in Bengali Poetry

Abstract

The relationship between fascism, anti-fascist movements, and Bengali rebellious poetry is examined in this essay, along with how these poems have historically represented political resistance. The study emphasizes how Bengali poets have utilized their craft to oppose oppression and spur social action, focusing on themes like the celebration of freedom, the denunciation of tyranny, the criticism of dishonest leadership, and the appreciation of resistance. This paper examines how poetry reflects historical struggles against colonialism and authoritarianism through an analysis of important poets such as Shamsur Rahman, Sukanta Bhattacharya, and Kazi Nazrul Islam. The study comes to the conclusion that, in the face of contemporary oppression and inequality, Bengali rebellious poetry remains a potent instrument of resistance, advocating for social justice and political participation.
