Syed Ismail Hossain Siraji (Bengali: সৈয়দ ইসমাইল হোসেন সিরাজী; 1880–1931) was a Bengali author and poet from Sirajganj in present-day Bangladesh. He is considered to be one of the key authors of period of the Bengali Muslim reawakening; encouraging education and glorifying the Islamic heritage.^[1] He also contributed greatly to introducing the Khilafat Movement in Bengal,^[2] and provided medical supplies to the Ottoman Empire during the Balkan Wars.^[3] Anal-Prabaha, his first poetry book, was banned by the government and he was subsequently imprisoned as the first South Asian poet to allegedly call for independence against the British Raj. The government issued Section 144 against him 82 times in his lifetime.^[4]
