Nazrul and "Bidrohi"

Nazrul wrote in his letter to Nargis, "Tumi ei aguner parasmani na dile Agnibina bajate partam na - ami dhumketur bismay niye udita hate partam na."
Really after the incident of Daulatpur Nazrul created some of his best creation  - Kamalpasa, Bidrohi, Pralayollas etc  and Bhangar Gaan.  Nazrul returned from Daulatpur in July 1921. He stayed for a few days in the office of the Sahitya Samity at College Street and then came to 3/4 Taltala Lane. Nazrul went to Santiniketan in Oct 1921 with Muhammad Saheedullah ( later Dr. Saheedullah). Sudhakant Roychoudhury, personal secretary of Rabindranath Tagore and a fan of Nazrul, once wrote a poem " Sainik Kaji Nazrul Sheber Prati" (published in kartik 1327, Moslem Bharat) to congratulate Nazrul Islam. He was the first person to bring  the notice of Rabindranath to a poem written by Nazrul. and made him introduced with Rabindranath. He was given the charge of loking after Nazrul when he came to Santiniketan. The visit of Nazrul and Dr. Saheedullah was described in a book, "Amar Kaishore Smritite Nazrul" (published in Katha Sahitya , Jaishtha 1377),  written by Nisikanta Roychoudhury, brother of Sudhakanta Roychoudhury.
Having returned from Santiniketan Nazrul and Muzaffar Ahmed was staying in 3/4 Taltala Lane. Two important things occurred, 1. Formation of Communist Party and 2. Creation of the poem "Bidrohi".While staying in Taltala Lane Nazrul and Muzaffar Ahmed had a communication through M.N.Roy from Moscow. In Taltala Lane, poets and litterateurs visited regularly. The Poet Satyendranath Dutta (Satyendranath Dutta (also spelt as Satyendranath Datta or Satyendra Nath Dutta) (Bengali: সত্যেন্দ্রনাথ দত্ত) (1882-1922), a Bengali poet, is considered the wizard of rhymes (or ছন্দের যাদুকর - chhonder jadukar in Bengali). Satyendranath Dutta was an expert in many disciplines of intellectual enquiry including medieval Indian history, culture, and mythology)  came to this house  to met Nazrul.
