A love of freedom and faith in the human spirit also permeates many of his poems. Unabashedly marxist, he has written poems urging an upheaval of the poor against the rich. He also has written a number of poems on important personalities, including Rabindranath, Sheikh Mujib, Lenin, Shakti Chattopadhyay , and others.
