On the occasion of the sixth death anniversary of Syed Shamsul Haq, Sabiha Huq writes on the versatile writer.

Syed Shamsul Haq's presence in Bangla literature is so all-encompassing and his brilliance so overwhelming in all the branches of creative writing in which he is present that the accolade that he was a literary genius would not in any way overstate his extraordinary talent.

Syed Shamsul Haq was a renowned poet, lyricist and writer who made a prominent impact in Bangladesh's theatre and arts.

Eminent litterateur Syed Shamsul Haq is flown to UK for treatment as he has been suffering from critical lungs disease.

The Daily Star awards 24 prominent individuals and an institution with lifetime achievement awards at its 25th anniversary event to honour their contribution to the society.
