Read the following passage and then answer the questions below it.

Hason Raja was born in 1854 in a wealthy landlord’s family in Sylhet. He did not receive much formal education. In his youth, he led a life of luxury. He had everything – money, comfort, pleasure. At one time he understood that all these are meaningless. He gave away all his properties. He started to think deeply about the creator, about life and death and mankind. Hason Raja wrote a lot of songs, perhaps about a thousand in number. His book called “Hason Udash” was published in 1906. The book had 206 songs in it. In his songs Hason called himself ‘Creazy Hason Raja’ or the ‘Pagla Hason Raja’. A volume called Hason Raja Samagra (complete work of Hason Raja) was also published. The book contained 500 poems and songs. Some of the songs were written by the poet in Hindi.

Hason Raja’s songs were always popular in Sylhet. But very soon they spread all over the Bangladesh and byond. In India’s West Bengal some eminent folk singers made Hason’s songs popular.
