Characters of Bahipir

Bohipir

Bohipir Natak was first published in 1960 from Dhaka. Prior to its publication, an international conference was held in Dhaka in 1955 on the initiative of the PEN Club, where it won the Bohipir Drama Award in the Bangla Drama Competition. The story of Bohipir's drama is based on a Pir.

This pir travels to the homes of his followers in different districts throughout the year. One kind of language in one area. So he speaks the language of the book without learning the language of different areas. For this his name has become Bahipir '. The play is named Bohipir after the central character of the play.

The name also has a symbolic meaning. In Bengali Muslim society, the Pir community originated from the pages of superstition and religious books. The creation of the Pir Samaj is based on the Sufi interpretation of Islam. As such, they spread in the society by capitalizing on human reform from the pages of the book Masael. The father of the playwright Syed Waliullah was a magistrate.

Waliullah got the opportunity to travel all over Bangladesh due to his father's transfer job. He got a chance to observe the Pir tradition in the Bengali Muslim society. As a result, he shared his experience in this play as in the novel 'Lalsalu'. The play is based on the story of a girl's rebellion, a symbol of the omnipotent interests of Bahipir and the new day. The central character of the play is Bahipir. He visits the house of the disciples once in two years.

Then the disciples serve him with all their might. This time a disciple forcibly married his orphaned daughter Tahera to this old pir. Tahera did not accept that. He escapes. He fled and took refuge in the city-bound barge of Hatem Ali Zamindar. Bahipir also went out in search of him with his companion Haqiqullah.

On the way, Bahipir's boat crashed and he accidentally took refuge in Hatem Ali's barge. Once he finds out, he has his newly married wife in this barge. He then resorted to tactics to get her. On the other hand, Hashem Ali, the son of a zamindar in Bajra, knowing Tahera's tragic story, took his side. This escalated the conflict in the barge. Bahipir continued to resort to heinous tactics. He even took advantage of the helplessness of the zamindar.

But in the end can not win. Tahera and Hashem Ali broke through all the barriers and fled. Bahipir also accepted the real situation. F, Introduction to the character of the play: Bohipir Bohipir is the central character and name character of the play. He is a very cunning and realistic man. He manages his religious business by capitalizing on the superstitions and beliefs of the uneducated common people. He is the home of his disciples throughout the year Take a tour of the house.

Collects money from them. This time he married an old man's daughter. The truth of the disciple and the daughter are all arranged together. But the daughter escaped. Then he went out in search of his future wife and accidentally found her. Then he resorted to extreme cunning and intelligence. In the play we see him at this stage. We see that he is very patient and intelligent.

Real intellect is also in its throes. He pretended to take refuge in the police to rescue his wife. But you know, it's a lot of trouble. So don't go that way. He first pleaded for a religious marriage. But when Tahera counter-argued, he backed away. He then made an excuse of humanity. He said that this girl never got affection. If you get affection from him, you will understand. He took advantage of the helplessness of the zamindar as it did not work. He offered to protect the zamindari's zamindari with money. Want Tahera back as a condition.

But all his plots failed at once. Tahera and Hashem Ali fled. Then we see. He accepted the reality. He forbids them to chase. It also reveals his intelligence and realism. Tahera Tahera is one of the important characters in this play. The most important character at once. Because, the flow of events of the play has revolved around him. She is motherless. Her superstitious father and truthfulness have arranged for her to marry an old pir. But she did not accept this unjust marriage. Escaped.

He is riding on a city-bound barge with courage. But at one point he was caught near Pir. Almost everyone except Hashem Ali of Bajra went against him but he did not back down from his decision not to go with the old man. As such, Tahera is a very inflexible character. But when he learned of the landlord's helplessness, he agreed. Introduced humanity. That is, he is at the same time inflexible and humane.

Finally, in search of a new life, he took Hashem Ali's hand and left for an unknown destination. Tahera can be called a symbol of women's rights and awakening in the early twentieth century. Hashem Ali Hashem Ali is the son of a zamindar. He is a very important character in this drama. He is the opposite character of the central character Bahipir. He very quietly overcame the manipulation of Bahipir and finally won. The negative character of Bahipi. He counts life and the world as his personal interests.

Hashem Ali on the other hand is a positive character. Human values ​​and justice are of utmost importance to him. In this sense, Hashem Ali can be considered as the hero and Bahipir as the villain. Although Hashem Ali is the son of a zamindar, he has less material considerations. Don't think about zamindari. She passed BA. Now wants to put a press. He is not worried if his father's estate is gone and he cannot set up a press for it. He thinks that when he has studied, something will happen.

He is a very rational, modern and humane person. The first unfamiliar girl in the barge realizes the nature of the problem. She became sympathetic to him. When the girl goes to commit suicide, he saves her. He did not leave the girl's side when the people of Pura Bajra were against him. Although the play describes him as restless, he remained steadfast in his position. In this case, the mother's warning, Bahipir's fear, the father's sad face, nothing could stop him. He wanted to save Tahera.

Even if married. As the son of a zamindar, Tahera is an unknown girl unknown to him. But in the end he left all the material content and left for an unknown - unknown purpose with the girl. In the end, Bahipir himself justified his move. Hashem Ali is a symbol of protest against religious prejudice and social injustice.

Hatem Ali Hatem Ali is a decaying zamindar. His zamindari has been put up for auction under the Sunset Act due to arrears of rent. To protect the zamindari, he set out to collect money from friends in the city. He has kept the news of his zamindari auction a secret from his family. He went to town on the pretext of medical treatment, but he failed to raise money.

Finally he said the word to Bahipir. Bohipir gives him tough conditions. He will have to hand over his wife in exchange for a loan. The girl also agreed. But the zamindar himself bent down. Because he thinks of himself as a butcher. His human values ​​are awakened. He refused to take the money. In this, the identity of Hatem Ali's high morality has come to light.

Hatem Ali is a brilliant character with a stable, self-absorbed high human consciousness. Minor characters Haqiqullah and Zamindar Ginni are the two minor characters in this play. Zamindar Ginni is a very simple character. He is superstitious and very religious. When an unidentified girl seeks refuge in the barge, he grants her shelter. He is upset to know the sad story of the girl. When he found out again that the girl was the runaway wife of a Pir, he wanted to give her back.

He realized that this marriage was unjust, but he was afraid of the Pir's curse. When the boy and the pir took a face-to-face position again, he wanted to be on the side of the pir. But the boy could not be suppressed. The image of the traditional Bengali mother has emerged in her. Dhamadhara of Haqiqullah Pir is an impersonal character.

He is Bahipir's assistant. In the play, he has been following the orders of the Pir. From the social picture reflected in the play, the period of the play is towards the end of nineteenth century or early twentieth century. In the play, zamindar Hatem Ali is seen losing his zamindari under the sunset law. The Sunset Act was enacted in 1893 and zamindari continued to be lost under this Act.

At that time, the image of the Pir tradition, superstition and superstition in the remote areas of Bangladesh has emerged in this play. In this play we see that Mr. Pir is feared and respected by all the rich and the poor. The common people of the village lose their knowledge when they find their pir. Goes crazy to serve him. They donate everything from wealth to their own daughters.

The play is a faithful document of the Pir tradition prevalent in Bengali Muslim society. But the play finally shows us the way to Ala. This situation signals a change. The two main characters of the play, Hashem Ali and Tahera, came out of this system. In the place of superstition, superstition, humanity wins. There is a logical human barrier between the other characters as well. The play has thus become a scene of human awakening.
