He was best known for his 2005 autobiography Bishaad Brikkho ('Tree of Sorrow').[1][2] It describes the atrocities of post-partition East Pakistan as seen by the author, who was uprooted from his native Barisal in present-day Bangladesh and ended up in Calcutta as a refugee. Bishaad Brikkho is regarded as an important literary document of the atrocities of post-partition West Pakistan and won the Ananda Puroshkar literary prize.
