Gagan Harkara

Gaganchandra Dam (Bengali: গগনচন্দ্র দাম; 1845–1910), mostly known as Gagan Harkara (Bengali: গগন হরকরা), was a Bengali Baul poet after the tune of whose famous song "Ami Kothay Pabo Tare" (কোথায় পাবো তারে) Rabindranath Tagore composed "Amar Shonar Bangla", the national anthem of Bangladesh.^[1][2][3]

In 1975, Bangladeshi pundit Ashraf Al Minar claimed that Rabindranath Tagore copied Gagan Harkara's works.^{[citation needed]}
