Jnanendra Chandra Majumdar

Jnanendra Chandra Majumdar (also Janendra Chandra Majumder) was an anti-colonial Bengali politician, and a representative of East Pakistan to the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan.

A long-time associate of Indian National Congress, Majumdar sided with Sarat Bose during the evolution of All India Forward Bloc faction.

[1] In 1940, he won a bye-election[a] from East Mymensingh —a dual-member[b] rural constituency— to the Bengal Provincial Assembly, drubbing Satish Chandra Ray Chowdhuri, the official Congress candidate, with considerable organizational support from Bose.

[1][2][c] In 1946, Majumdar re-stood as an independent candidate, but failed[d] to be re-elected; nonetheless, he was elected[e] by the Assembly as a Congress candidate to the Constituent Assembly of India.

[4][6] After partition, Mymensingh went to Pakistan and Majumdar became a member of the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan.
