Kasem bin Abu Bakr (Bengali: কাশেম বিন আবু বকর) is an Indian-born Bangladeshi novelist whose novel focuses on Islam-centered love in a rural context. He was born in Hooghly, present-day West Bengal, and later moved to Bangladesh. In his early life, he was a bookseller. He wrote his first novel Futanto Golap in 1978, which took almost a decade to be published. The book became a bestseller after its publication, gaining international attention after coverage by Agence France-Presse (AFP).
Academic life
He passed his Matriculation from the Howrah Board in West Bengal. Although he enrolled in intermediate studies, he was unable to complete them due to family pressures arising from being the eldest son.
