Tassaduq Ahmed, born Tassaduq Ahmed Chowdhury, MBE, was a British-Bangladeshi politician, social worker, and activist.[1]
Ahmad was born on 2 April 1923 in Golapganj Upazila, Sylhet District, Assam, British India.[2] His father, Madris Ahmad Chowdhury, was a bureaucrat. In 1943, he removed Chowdhury from his name due to the name being a Zamindar title.[2] He was the general secretary of the All Assam Muslim Students Federation and campaigned in the 1947 Sylhet referendum, which resulted in Sylhet District being separated from Assam and joined to East Bengal (present Bangladesh).[3]
