I am happy to see the list. at least something is done. But there is so much to do. Although I am born and raised in Dhaka by my forefathers are from Monohorgonj, Comilla. My mother from Borura, Comilla. I have visited my village many times. Comilla has always been famous for literacy and education. I call all the peoples around the world who hails from Comilla to contribute to save the history of Comilla and its beautiful peoples. It wont be bad if we can work with the Greater Comilla i.e Comilla, Chandpur and B. Baria.

Its an unique effort. But I am surprised not to see the name of Khan Bahabur Abidur Reza Chowdhury. He was the chairman of comilla district board for 30 years at a strech which is an epoch making event in the anal of united Bengal. He was also an MLA from 1937-54. The book COMILLA ZILLAR ITIHAS bears only one full paged photograph that belongs to Mr. Abidur Reza Chowdhury. Though this versatile genius now belongs to chandpur district but the history of comilla would be definitely incomplete without his name.

Lot of thanks for this kind of activities.Many many person will know about Comilla.My proposal is that here is absent one very important name which name is the history of liberation war & post Independence.He was an excellent Proffessor in Physics in Comilla Victoria College & many others College.He is the Civil Liajo Officer in 2no. Sector of Liberation War.Post independence he is the 1st governor of Comilla,1st M.P of Comilla Sadar,1st president of Greater Comilla District Awameelege.The most important is that he is one of the writer of Bangladesh Constitution in 1972.He is the member of Constitution Drafting Committee which members are 34,leaded by Dr.Kamal Hossain. As a constitution writer I think he leads the whole nation.He first raised our National Flag in Comilla in 23 March 1971.Really he is the honest politician.We can proud for him.

A lot of names are mission in Music Section. A renowned Das family from Talpukur Par (Comilla), who had and have a lot of contribution in music arena at past as well as as present. I have observed some names in comment portion but not included in the article. Here are the list:
1. Pandit Sree Surendra Narayan Das Sangeet Ratna;
2. Sree Sudhin Das;
3. Smt. Nilema Das;
4. Vidushi Alaka Das;
5. Manas Kumar Das;
6. Tapas Kumar Das.
All the above names that, I have mentioned are/ were well established in the music arena (Classical Music, Nazrul Sangeet, Modern songs) of Bangladesh. I am worried, whether the authority is reluctant to review the comments made or whether they are ignoring the comment simultaneously.
