Lalon Fakir’s Philosophical Thoughts About Mass Education and Peace Education

Abstract

Lalon Fakir passed away in 1890 now at Kushtia district in Bangladesh. His year, place and date of birth was unknown. He found untouchability in his village, disrespect towards gender inequality, inadequate class distribution. His dream was to create a religious-cast-creedless humanistic society. Men were all in all above these human created caste systems. Customs were created, surrounded and covered by men. These creeds are the main obstacle for continuing spiritual attachment towards God. He tried to arouse humanism through physical attachment in religion. He described his mind of women (beloved) through his various Boul songs. “Manush chara khepa re tui mul harabi… Manush Vojle sonar Manush hobi” or “Milon hobe koto dine …amar moner manuser sone”.Though his songs he portrayed question marks about social inequalities, religious creeds, customs, superstitions, selfishness and greediness.” Emon samaj kobe go srijon hobe…jedin hindu-muslim-buddha-christain jati- gotra nahi robe``. Religious Customs are the main part of society. He protested about these superstitions along with 10000 disciples toward Jamindar’s Civilization violations. Being a human Education is very necessary, with the help of a healthy companion and environment any one can increase purity, humanism, spiritual knowledge and wealth and also revive mass education and peace education logically.
