The Dhaka Times Desk For no reason, especially if someone shows a bit of stupidity, he is ridiculed as a 'moof'. In particular, "North Bengal area people are called Mofiz area people". But who was this 'Mofiz', why his name has become the object of ridicule, find out today.
Do you know the reason for saying Mofiz? In a remote village of Gaibandha district, there was a very honest driver named Mofiz who was poorly educated. After selling his last life savings and the little land given to him by his father, he bought an old bus on the Dhaka route and started the bus on the Dhaka-Gaibandha route.
Garib Dardi Mafiz used to take the day laborers to Dhaka for very low fare. At one point he started driving the bus with another driver due to age. But the day laborers started protesting at his house to save the rent. For their benefit, they used to write Moffis on white paper and ask them to give it to the supervisor. At that time, he used to make arrangements to facilitate Dhaka travel on the roof of the bus at a nominal fare.
The bus supervisor would then collect the paper signed by Moffiz and collect the reduced fare. So the supervisor would say loudly on the roof of the bus, how many mofis are there on the roof? That is, how many slips are there? And this is exactly how the word Mofiz, Benevolent Friend of the Poor, came into being. Today, many of us jokingly pronounce the word 'mofiz'. So you put your hand on your chest and say, do you have the qualifications to be 'mofiz'?
