Kazi Abul Monsur (1918 – 20 February 1996) was a physician and microbiologist of Bangladesh.[1] He was awarded Independence Day Award posthumously in 1996 by the Government of Bangladesh for his contribution in the field of medical science.[2]
He was born on 4 March 1918 to the aristocratic Kazi family of Rajapur in Boalmari, Faridpur district, Bengal Presidency. His father, Kazi Abdur Rashid, was a moulvi and his mother, Begum Syedunnesa, was a housewife. The family was founded by Kazi Abdur Rasool, son of Shah Azimuddin, who was purported have descended from the Arab Muslim general Khalid ibn al-Walid despite the fact the consensus of Arab genealogists that Khalid ibn al-Walid's lineage in the paternal line had died out during the Plague of Amwas.[3] Nonetheless, this Kazi Abdur Rasool is said to have been appointed as Kazi in Mughal Bengal.[4][5]
Abul Mansur graduated with a gold medal from Calcutta Medical College in 1943.[6]
