Education

In 1986, he crossed the Jamuna and went to capital Dhaka, where he attended the University of Dhaka to receive an MA degree in Bengali literature and language in 1989 with a First Class.[2] He was awarded a research grant by the Nazrul Institute in 1996, the result of which was Nazrul: Spokesman of the Third World (Nazrul: Tritiya Bishwer Mukhopatro; 1997) published from the same institute. He also awarded a research fellow by the University Grand commission, the result of which was Travelodge of Tagore (Rabindranather Vraman Sahitya 2010).

Career

A journalist by profession, he carefully escapes the arena of popular and prosaic day-to-day information that the job deserves, and dives into the invincible deep of poetic inspiration from where he collects pebbles of pictures, aroma of feelings and intense fabric of thought, after which an automatic mental process of jeopardizing them continues in its own accord. He taught Bengali literature at some colleges and universities for almost five years.

Activism

Mozid Mahmud has been working with poor and vulnerable people in Bangladesh, especially destitute northern part of the country from two decades. He established Organization for Social Advancement & Cultural Activities (OSACA) a non-government organisation which is fighting for hunger and legal rights.

Poetry

Mahfuza Mangal

Majid Mahmud's book of poetry is a dedication to 'Mahfuza', following the trend of poetry and songs dedicated to gods and goddesses of religions and sects of the subcontinent. The poetry dedicated to gods and goddesses was for relief from the vagaries of nature. Majid Mahmud's poetry is passionate as images continue in their contortions. The space between man and gods and goddess resonates with the enormity of infinity and eternity. This collection is the edition published on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the first publication of the book in February 1989. After that there have been three more editions.[7] [8]
