প্রথম সংস্করণের ভূমিকা
The Pre-British Bengali Literature is full of stories both in prose as well as in verse relating to the heroes of Muslim History. Not so, however, the literature produced during the British period since partition the movement to enrich the Bengali language with the cultural heritage of Islam has gained considerable strength. Books are now being written in Bengali touching on the glorious episodes and the great heroes of Islamic History.
Nasim Hejazi is an Urdu writer whose books have become extremely popular among the young men and women. He has a simple, forceful way of telling stories which are built round the heroes of Muslim History. It was felt that his stories would not lose their charm when translated into Bengali. The Pakistan Co-operative Book Society Ltd., is an organisation which has been established with the object of making good books available to the public at reasonable prices. It was therefare decided to make a start and get one of Nasim Heiazi's books translated into Bengali. If the present publication which is based on the life of the young conqueror of sind proves a success, other similar books will follow.
We received great encourgement in the execution of the project from Mr. Fakhruddin Valika of Karachi who donated a large sum of money for this purpose. There is no doubt that certain forces are at work which are all the time pointing out our differences. After all, the most important thing is idealogical and cultural identity. Our hearts beat in unison when we hear of the exploits of Muhammad Bin Kasim. He is a hero to all of us wherever we live. We have constantly to remind ourselves that we have a common future. Small petty differences divide us, but in our basic layalty we all stand united as one.
