Sardar Fazlul Karim

Sardar Fazlul Karim (Bengali: সরদার ফজলুল করিম; 1 May 1925 – 15 June 2014) was a Bangladeshi academic, philosopher and essayist.

[4] When Karim was a high school student, Saratchandra Chatterjee's novel Pather Dabi (Demand for a Pathway) inspired him to dream of a revolution.

[3] He then became a student of Dacca University, initially studying English but soon shifting to philosophy because Haridas Bhattacharya's class lectures had attracted him.

[6] In 1954, while in prison, he was elected to the East Bengal Legislative Assembly as a Jukto Front candidate.

[5] In 1972, after Bangladesh won its independence, he rejoined Dacca University as a professor of political science.
