Rudra Mohammad Shahidullah was born on 16 October 1956 in Barisal, Bangladesh. He was a student of Dhaka West End School. From this school he passed Secondary School Certificate (SSC) in 1973 and Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSC) in 1975.

In 1982 Taslima Nasrin fell in love with Rudra and fled home to marry him. They divorced in 1986. He died on 21 June 1991 as a result of drug abuse and depression.

Amar Bhitor Bahire Ontore Ontore

His notable song Amar Bhitor Bahire Ontore Ontore is regarded by some people as a suicide note to Taslima Nasrin. The works of this brilliant poet were popularised later by legendary singer-songwriter of India Kabir Suman and famous Bengali singer Sabina Yasmin.

As once famously stated by Kabir Suman, the song Amar bhitor o bahire became an all-time popular song for the Bengalis of both Bangladesh and West Bengal. The longing embedded in the lyrics add to the poignancy of the piece.

    Rudra Smriti Sangsad organises an annual fair named Rudra Mela, in memory of poet Rudro Mohammad Shahidullah.

    With a well-composed harmony of local and foreign instruments tuning with the song meaning "I am fine and hope so thy, write me at the address in sky," Dhaka University's Fine Arts Institute premises, the fair venue, momentarily got a festive mood in reminiscence of the poet of unbound love and liveliness.

    Earlier, eminent intellectual Kamal Lohani inaugurated the fair at 11.30 am. Then the award for juvenile painting competition was distributed. In the first session of the fair, Dr. Bishwajit Ghos presented the keynote paper on Rudro's poetry and poet Asad Chowdhury, Nurul Huda, Nasiruddin Yousuf, Golam Kuddus and Ahkamullah took part in the discussion.

    Folk songs of Sameer Baul, Babul Sarkar, Ruma Akter and other Baul artists enthralled audience for hours with their touching odes.
