Bangiya Mussalman Sahitya Samiti was founded in 1911 in Kolkata by young Bengali Muslim writers.
It was created by Syed Nawab Ali Chowdhury, a Muslim zamidar, or hereditary landlord.
The aim of the organization was to create a cultural awakening in the Bengali Muslim society.
The Bangiya Mussalman Sahitya Samiti went into decline with the creation of new organisations such as the East Pakistan Renaissance Society in 1942 in Calcutta and the Purba Pakistan Sahitya Sangsad in 1942 in Dhaka.
On 24 February 1918, it was decided through a meeting to start publication of the quarterly.
