How a rickshaw-puller changed the course of Dr Zafrullah’s life

“Should I go back to the UK? If I can’t serve my countrymen, I might as well go back.”

Dr Zafrullah’s real utopia

Zafrullah’s socialism was useful in contrast to ones offered by the dominant leftist parties of the country, characterised by theoretical obscurantism, fractiousness, political irrelevance, and their inconsequentiality to the daily lives of the masses.

Remembering Zafrullah Chowdhury / Radical pragmatist, champion of women, public-health advocate

Like the dreaded knock, I was afraid that one of my friends would one day ask me to write something about him, a memorial.

Zafrullah: Tribute to a freedom fighter and revolutionary

Zafrullah believed that incremental change was not enough and that the social order itself needed to be changed.

Try and be someone like Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury

His departure is part of life’s natural course. But we have to hold steadfast to his ethics.

A nation-builder like no other

Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury will be remembered for his tireless pro-people activism
