Extremists Encroach on Bengali Poet's Ancestral Home in Bangladesh

Extremists Encroach on Bengali Poet's Ancestral Home in Bangladesh

A famous poet's old house in Bangladesh is now being used by someone else.

The house belonged to Atul Prasad Sen, a Bengali Hindu poet, and it's in a place called Naria.

Sadly, because no one was taking care of it, some people moved in and changed its name to 'Munshibari.'

The poet's poems were really important because they helped people during big events in the past.

Now, the people living there say there's nothing from the poet left in the house.

The poet himself died a long time ago.
