Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhasani

Bhasani, Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan (1880-1976) legislator. Famously known as Maulana Bhasani, Abdul Hamid Khan was self-instructed, town based, a torch, and wary about pioneer establishments. In spite of the fact that enormously compelling all through his political vocation and instrumental in winning many general and neighborhood government decisions since 1946, he reliably avoided holding genuine force. His authority was established in his persevering and perpetual battle for protecting the rights and interests of the working class and the working classes. 

Bhasani was conceived in 1880 at town Dhanpara of Sirajganj locale. His dad was Haji Sharafat Ali Khan. Aside from a couple of long stretches of training at the nearby school and madrasa, he didn't get a lot of formal instruction. He started his profession as a grade teacher at Kagmari in Tangail and afterward worked in a madrasa at town Kala (Haluaghat) in Mymensingh region. 

In 1919, Bhasani joined the non-collaboration development and khilafat development to check the starting of his long and bright political vocation. He went to Santosh in Tangail to take up the administration of the persecuted workers during the Great Depression time frame. From Tangail he moved to Ghagmara in Assam in the late 1930s to guard the interests of Bangali pilgrims there. He made his presentation as a pioneer at Bhasan Char on the Brahmaputra where he developed a bank with the collaboration of the Bangali pilgrims, subsequently sparing the laborers from the scourge of yearly immersion. Eased of the repetitive floods the neighborhood individuals affectionately began to call him Bhasani Saheb, an appellation by which the Maulana has been known from that point on. 

The Assam government made a law confining Bangali settlement past a specific land line, a self-assertive settlement which seriously influenced the interests of the Bangali colonizers. Ensured by this prohibitive law local people had propelled a development to expel the Bangali pilgrims over the alleged line. In 1937 Bhasani joined the Muslim League and became leader of Assam unit of the gathering.

He was captured by the administration of Assam, and discharged towards the finish of 1947 on condition that he would leave Assam for good. 

Right off the bat in 1948 Maulana Bhasani came to East Bengal just to end up forgot about from the commonplace administration set-up. Crippled, Bhasani challenged and won a seat in the common get together from south Tangail in a by-political race crushing Khurram Khan Panni, the Muslim League up-and-comer and zamindar of Karatia. Be that as it may, the commonplace senator invalidated the outcomes on grounds of treachery in the races, and excluded all the applicants from participating in any political race until 1950. For some odd reason, the prohibition on Panni was lifted in 1949 despite the fact that it stayed in power on Bhasani. 

In 1949 he went to Assam once more, and was captured and sent to Dhubri jail. On his discharge he returned to Dhaka. At about this time, the East Pakistan Muslim League was going through an administration emergency. The disappointed components of the Muslim League called a laborers' show in Dhaka on June 23 and 24 of 1949. About 300 representatives from various pieces of the territory went to the show. On June 24 another ideological group, the East Pakistan Awami Muslim League, was propelled with Maulana Bhasani as president and Shamsul Hoque of Tangail as general secretary. 

Upon the arrival of its introduction to the world, the gathering held its first open gathering at Armanitola in Dhaka under the chairmanship of Bhasani. After its second gathering in a similar scene on October 11, he and numerous different pioneers of the new party were captured while heading a parade of craving strikers moving towards the administration secretariat to challenge the starvation conditions winning in the region. At the point when his life was in danger because of his extended craving strike, Bhasani was discharged from prison in 1950. 

On 21 February 1952, a few understudies participating in the language development were slaughtered in a police terminating in Dhaka. Bhasani emphatically censured the mercilessness of the legislature. He was captured on February 23 from his town home and sent behind the bar. In the governmental issues of East Bengal in the mid 1950s Bhasani developed as the most vocal and regarded lawmaker of the time. As leader of the Awami Muslim League, Bhasani assumed the urgent job in manufacturing a solidarity among five restriction ideological groups by framing a coalition called the unified front. Different pioneers of the front were AK Fazlul Huq, Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, Sheik Mujibur Rahman, Haji Mohammad Danesh. In the decisions held in March 1954, the United Front won 223 seats as against the Muslim League's 7 seats. 

There is motivation to accept that successive contact during jail existence with the socialists made the Maulana increasingly cognizant about communist philosophy with which his own political standpoint and way of life were very in accord. He became leader of the Adamjee Jute Mills Mazdoor Union and the East Pakistan Railway Employees League. The Maulana was made to direct two monstrous specialists' assemblies sorted out by the socialists on May Day in 1954 in Dhaka and Narayanganj. That year he was made leader of the East Pakistan Peasants' Association. Before long, he was made leader of the East Pakistan part of the socialist ruled International Peace Committee. In that limit, he went to Stockholm to go to the World Peace Conference in 1954. He visited a few nations of Europe, increasing firsthand information on the communist developments of the world. 

At home, the United Front verged on crumbling principally in view of contentions between the Awami Muslim League and the Krishak Sramik Party over the topic of intensity sharing. The Maulana attempted his best to beat the issues of commonsense governmental issues. Be that as it may, he was especially frustrated at the new development under which H S Suhrawardy framed the Awami alliance government at the inside with himself as leader and with Ataur Rahman Khan as boss priest in East Bengal. In the interim, genuine contrasts of assessment emerged between the Maulana and Suhrawardy on issues concerning the essential standards of the Pakistan Constitution at that point being settled for declaration. The Maulana contradicted the constitution's arrangement for independent electorate for the minorities which Suhrawardy upheld. He likewise restricted Suhrawardy's ace American international strategy and supported nearer relations with China. 

In 1957, the Maulana called a gathering of the gathering at Kagmari, and utilized the event to dispatch an unpleasant assault on Suhrawardy's international strategy, in this way flagging an unavoidable split in the association. Things went to a final turning point when Maulana Bhasani considered a meeting in Dhaka of liberals from all over Pakistan and framed another gathering called the national awami party (NAP) with himself as president and Mahmudul Huq Osmani from West Pakistan as secretary general. From that point onwards the Maulana followed left-arranged legislative issues straightforwardly. 

Bhasani was interned by and by when Pakistan's military boss General Mohammad Ayub Khan held onto power in 1958. After his discharge from control in 1963, the Maulana went on a visit to China and furthermore to Havana in 1964 to go to the World Peace Conference.

In 1967 the communist world split into star Soviet and expert China alliances. The East Pakistan NAP additionally split with the Maulana driving the master China division. 

Maulana Bhasani marked the Ayub government as a flunky of settler powers and propelled a development to unstick him from power. He sorted out solid protection from the Agartala Conspiracy Case against Bangabandhu sheik mujibur rahman and made weight for the unequivocal withdrawal of the case. Notwithstanding mounting restriction development, Ayub Khan surrendered as President of Pakistan, permitting armed force boss General Aga Mohammad Yahya Khan to step in. To hold over the developing political emergency, Yahya Khan organized holding parliamentary races on 7 December 1970. The Maulana boycotted the races and focused on giving alleviation to the casualties of the staggering typhoon that struck the waterfront zone of Bangladesh in November 1970. The indifference of the focal government towards the typhoon exploited people made the Maulana call transparently for the partition of East Pakistan. 

With the start of war of freedom in 1971 Maulana Bhasani took shelter in India. One of his first requests after come back to Dhaka (22 January 1972) was to pull back Indian soldiers from the dirt of Bangladesh. On February 25 he began distributing a week by week Haq katha and it before long increased wide course. The paper was before long prohibited. After the Jatiya Sangsad races in 1973, the Maulana began a yearning strike to challenge the nourishment emergency, ascent of cost of basic products, and weakening peace circumstance. 

In 1974 Bhasani established Hukumat-e-Rabbania request and proclaimed a zihad or sacred war against the Awami League government and Indo-Soviet overlordship. In April 1974, a 6-party joined front was framed under the Maulana's initiative.
