Titumir

Syed Mir Nisar Ali (27 January 1782 – 19 November 1831), better known as Titumir (Bengali: তিতুমীর), was a Bengali revolutionary, who developed a strand of Muslim nationalism coupled with agrarian and political consciousness. He is famed for having built a large bamboo fort to resist the British, which passed onto Bengali folk legend.
