By which title did The Times of India refer to Humayun?

The Master Storyteller
The Wizard of Words
The Shakespeare of Bangladesh
The Bengal Laureate

Answer

"The Shakespeare of Bangladesh" is an erroneous attribution for Humayun. Humayun was a Mughal Emperor of India in the 16th century. The title "The Shakespeare of Bangladesh" rightfully belongs to Kazi Nazrul Islam, the renowned Bengali polymath and one of the greatest poets in the history of Bangladesh.
