In the village Churulia, there is a garh constructed by RajaNarottom Singha as the place was his capital and also there is a great tank named Pir Pukur.It is said that saint Haji Pahluwan caused to dig the tank. The cemetry of the saint is at peace on its east bank where as a small but nice mosque is shining on the West bank of the Pir Pukur. Hear-say continues that the village Churulia was famous in old days for its armament factories and there was a "Darul Quaza" (Quazis Court) during the Moghal period. The inhbitants of Churulia were predominently muslims, most of whome came from out side Bengal and practised Rarh Bengal Culture. Nazrul Islam's ancestors came from Hajipur, Patna, during the reign of Mughal emperor Shah Alom. They did some judicial jobs under royal patronage and so use the title Kazi before their names. In Churulia, Nazrul Islam's fore-father got some "Aimma" estates (Lakheraj or revenue free estates) but during the time of Nazrul Islam, no estate was under their possession although the family retained some prestige for their ancestry. Nazrul Islam's father was Kazi Phakir Ahmed. He was a pious man and did the job of Imam in the mosque on the bank of pirpukur. Also he was the care taker of the "Dargah" of saint Haji Pahluwan. He had some knowledge of Arabic and Persian since he was the Imam. Nazrul's grand father Kazi AminuUah did the same business and had similar knowledge as his son Kazi Phakir Ahmed. Arabic Persian and Urdu languages marked a deep influence on the family. Nazrul Islam's uncle Kazi Bajle Karim had fair knowledge of Persian language and fondness of poetry. Kazi Phakir Ahmed had two wives, seven sons and two daughters. Eldest son was Kazi Sahebjan. Then came four sons, one after another, but all of them died soon after birth. Then Kazi Nazrul Islam was bom and after him, his youngest brother Kazi Ali Hussain saw the light of the day. Nazrul's two sisters were Umme Kulsum and Sajedun Nessa.
