Summary: ously awarded the title of "Sahitya-Visarad" or "an Expert in Literature." Although he cherished this title more than any other honor he received later on, it was evident that the title did not glorify him; rather, he glorified the title. Being an unassuming individual of humble occupation, Abdul Karim was personally known to few educated and cultured individuals outside his district, but his reputation as a scholar and researcher was so high that he became almost a curiosity in the literary circles of Bengal. This was evident from an incident at the Bengali Literary Conference in Calcutta in 1914, where he was invited to speak, and due to being a slim figure of medium height, the audience demanded that he stand on the presidential table to address the gathering. This incident left an indelible mark on his modest personality, yet it showcased the high regard and curiosity that surrounded his scholarly achievements.
