Syed Nausher Ali

Syed Nausher Ali (1891 – 6 April 1972) was an Indian left-leaning politician in West and East Bengal (now India and Bangladesh) during British rule.

He was renowned for his advocacy of abolition of British imperialism and his support of Hindu-Muslim cooperation in the form of an undivided India.

Ali was elected as a member of the Bengal Legislative Assembly in 1921 and 1936 he joined the Krishak Praja Party (KPP).

[citation needed] In 1937, when A. K. Fazlul Huq formed a coalition government with the All-India Muslim League, Nausher Ali was the only other KPP representative in the joint cabinet.

In 1942 when Fazlul Huq formed the second coalition Ministry, Syed Nausher Ali became the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly from 1 March 1943 to 14 May 1946.
