Abdur Rashid Tarkabagish
Résumé
Khandakar Abdur Rashid (খন্দকার আব্দুর রশীদ), better known as Abdur Rashid Tarkabagish (আব্দুর রশীদ তর্কবাগীশ; 27 November 1900 – 20 August 1986) was a Bangladeshi politician and Islamic scholar. His career spans from the anti-colonial independence movement to the establishment of both Pakistan and Bangladesh. Tarkabagish was the second president of the All Pakistan Awami Muslim League, and served as a member of the National Assembly of Pakistan and later the Parliament of Bangladesh. Despite being a member of the treasury bench, he opposed what he considered to be the repressive mentality of the Nurul Amin government towards the Bengali Language Movement.
Khandakar Abdur Rashid was born on 27 November 1900 to a scholarly Bengali Muslim family of Khandakars in the village of Tarutia situated in Ullahpara, Sirajganj (then under the Pabna District of the Bengal Presidency). His father, Khandakar Abu Ishaq, traces his lineage to Shah Syed Darwish Mahmud, a Muslim preacher descended from Abdul Qadir Gilani, who had arrived in the region from Baghdad in 1303.
From an early age, he developed a sense of patriotism. At the age of thirteen, he assembled helpless milk sellers against the local zamindars and mahajans and demanded that they pay them a fair price for milk. By the age of twenty-one, he was leading marchers in a non-violent protest for independence at the Salanga bazaar in Raiganj, when the crowd was fired upon, killing hundreds of people. The events of 27 January 1922 are now referred to as the Salanga massacre in Bangladesh, and memorialised by "Salanga Day" annually.
He later decided to pursue higher Islamic studies, and thus entered the United Provinces and Lahore, where was educated in Deobandi institutions such as Darul Uloom Deoband and Mazahir Uloom. He received his degree in logic and reasoning (tarka) and was honoured with the title of Tarkabagish (master of reasoning).
Tarkabagish joined the Muslim League in 1936. From the party he participated in the election and earned his place in the Bengal Legislative Assembly in 1937 and in 1946.
