Serajul Alam Khan ("Dada") is a Bangladeshi political analyst, philosopher and writer. He is one of the founders of Swadhin Bangla Biplobi Parishad (English: Independent Bangladesh Students Movement Council), a secret organisation of Chhatra League, which played a significant role in the Bangladesh Liberation War.[1]
Biography[edit]
Alam Khan served as the general secretary of the student political organization East Pakistan Chhatra League from 1963 to 1965.[2][3]
Soon after returning to free the country from dissension within pro-liberation mainstream power base, Serajul became conspicuous between left-of-center leadership and simmering far left young radicals.[4] Khan was involved in a political struggle with Sheikh Fazlul Haque Mani.[5] Alam Khan developed an ideological difference from Sheikh Fazlul Haque Mani, due to the former's advocacy of scientific socialism, thus forming the Jatiyo Samajtantrik Dal.[6] In 1975, Sheikh Fazlul Haque Mani urged him to join BaKSAL, but he refused.[7]
Current activities[edit]
Alam Khan now serves as a professor of political science in the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, a post he has held since 1996. In 2006, he was hospitalized in London and underwent a bypass operation.[8]
