Serajul Alam Khan


Serajul Alam Khan is a Bangladeshi political analyst, philosopher and writer. He is one of the founders of Swadhin Bangla Biplobi Parishad, a secret organisation of Chhatra League, which played a significant role in the Bangladesh Liberation War.

After 1971

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. Khan was involved in a political struggle with Sheikh Fazlul Haque Mani. Serajul 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. In 1975, Sheikh Fazlul Haque Mani urged him to join BaKSAL, but he refused.

Current activities

Serajul 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.
