The background of Kobor focuses on the crisis of the Bengali Language Movement which took place on 21 February 1952 in Dhaka.
[1][2] Munier Chowdhury was arrested for taking active part in the Language Movement in January 1953.
In that letter, Ranesh requested Munier Chowdhury for writing a play to observe the Language Movement Day.
Political prisoners who were arrested for being active in the Bengali Language Movement played the characters.
[6] Munier Chowdhury Himself admitted in a later interview, that he may have copied Bury the dead unwittingly, because he read that a few months earlier.
Murda Fakir has made the biggest contribution in taking the whole drama to another height.
According to him, there is still life in the bodies buried in the ground, he called Hafiz and The Leader dead.
As a man, he is very cunning, The Leader acts recklessly in difficult situations, but Hafiz is seen as a visionary throughout the play.
An utterly dishonest man, blinded by greed for power, has tried to carry on a great event like The Language Movement as a 'little mess'.
The play moves forward through the dialogue between The Leader and Inspector Hafiz in a semi-drunk state.
