Speakers at a program have urged the authorities to spread the knowledge of Maulana Muhammad Nuruddin Fatehpuri on history and stone inscriptions among the new generation.
The Committee for Documentation on Architectural Sites in Dhaka on Friday organized the program to commemorate the life and work of inscription researcher Maulana Muhammad Nuruddin Fatehpuri at the Sufia Kamal Auditorium of Bangladesh National Museum in the capital.
Presiding over the event, educationist AAMS Arefin Siddique, who is the chairman of Committee for Documentation on Architectural Sites in Dhaka and former vice chancellor of Dhaka University, said that the world has been divided geographically, linguistically and in many other ways. The people must find unity within these divisions and that unity can be found through knowledge, he said.
ARCASIA President Prof Abu Sayeed M Ahmed, archeologist Mohammad Mosharraf Hossain, Nuruddin Fatehpuri's son Maulana Kawsar Bin Nuruddin, Jagannath University Theatre Department Professor Kamaluddin Kabir and the Imam of Boro Vat Mosque Mufti Tanvir Ahmed Chowdhury spoke on the occasion.
Prof Abu Sayeed M Ahmed, in his speech, recalled Maulana Fatehpuri's ideology in spreading knowledge among all.
The program began with Sanwara Jahan Nitu rendering a song, ‘Kon Alote Praner Pradip'.
Following the song, a documentary on Maulana Fathepuri's life and work, produced by the Committee for Documentation on Architectural Sites in Dhaka, was screened at the venue.
Born in 1948 in Kaliganj upazila of Gazipur, Nuruddin Fatehpuri began gathering texts of numerous unpublished inscriptions in the 1980s.
