Early years

Family background and education

Huseyn Suhrawardy was born on 8 September 1892 inMidnapore,BengalinIndiainto an illustriousBengali Muslimfamily known for their wealth, education, andgentrybackground, who claimed to be the direct descendent and ancestors of theFirst Caliphate.:81[13][2]His father,JusticeSirZahid Suhrawardy,was a jurist at theCalcutta High Court;and his mother,Banu,was the daughter ofMaulana Ubaidullah Suhrawardy,who was a prolificUrdu languagewriter and was the first Indian women to have passed theSenior Cambridgeexaminations.[14]His elder brother,Hasan,alinguist,found a great successful career as a diplomat with Pakistan'sForeign ministry.[14]Shaista Suhrawardy Ikramullahwas his niece.[15]His uncles,Hassan Suhrawardyserved in theBritish Indian Armyas a military physician while SirAbdullah Suhrwardywas a barrister.[14]

After hismatriculationfrom theCalcutta Madrassa,Suhrawardy academically excelled when he went enrolled to attend theCalcutta Universityin 1906, attending theSt. Xavier's Collegewhere he graduated withBScinMathematicsin 1911.:6–7[12][16][17]In 1913, Suhrawardy attained hisMAinArabic Languageand earned a scholarship to attend theOxford Universityfor his higher studies. Hisgentrybackground allowed him to settle in England comfortably while attending theSt. Catherine's CollegeofOxford University,where he attainedMAinpolitical scienceand graduated with theBCL degreein 1920.[18][19]

After leaving theOxford,Suhrwardy was called to bar at theGray's Innwhere he was trained asbarrister-at-Lawin 1922–23.[20]

Political career in India

Deputy mayorship of Calcutta and legislation (1922–1944)

After his training as theBarrister-at-Lawin England, Suhrawardy returned toIndiawhere he begin his practice at theCalcutta High Courtin 1922–23, building his reputation as a competent lawyer.:80[13]During this time, he joined theMuslim Leagueand secured his elections as aMemberof theBengal Legislative Assembly.[2]His legislative career took prominence during the times of theKhilafat Movement,a conservative Islamic movement inIndia,and had remained associate with theMovementfor several years.:80[13]

In 1924–25, Suhrawardy was appointed asdeputy mayorof theCalcutta Corporationwhen he joined theSwaraj Partyled by theMayor of KolkataChittaranjan Das.:80[13]In 1926, he broke with theSwaraj Partyafter theHindu-Muslim riotstook place in Calcutta, and represented the accused Muslims at theCalcutta High Court,and begin encouraging the trade strikes to maintain pressure on theCongress Party.:93:124[21]

In 1930s, he strengthened the political program of theMuslim League,supporting theconceptofPakistan,and begin mobilizing his support in favor of thePakistan Movement.[2]In 1936, he became theSecretary-Generalof the Muslim League'sBengal chapterand successfully defended his constituency ingeneral electionsheld in 1934–37.[2]

His outspoken advocacy for thePakistan Movementfurther strengthened the position and political program of theMuslim League,and was appointed to head theMinistry of Commerce and Labourfrom 1937 until 1943 under the provincial administration ofPremier of BengalAbul Kasim Fazlul Haq.:16[12]

In 1943,PremierK. Nazimuddineventually appointed him to lead theMinistry of Civil Supplyand it was during his tenureship when thefamine took place in Bengalin 1943.[22]Although, British administrator andGovernor of BengalRichard Caseywas of the view of consideringPremierK. Nazimuddinas "incapable", there were major allegations that leveled on him towards deliberating causing the famine and doing very little to prevent it.[22]Suhrawardy, on the other hand, contradicted when claiming that it was theCentral governmentin New Delhi andblack marketersthat had seized the transportation of rice and wheats to thepresidency.[22]

On the other hand, Indian author, Madhushree Mukherjee, laid major responsibility of this famine to British Prime MinisterWinston Churchillwho wanted the ration for war efforts only and had refrained theU.S. aid to Bengal.[23]Suhrwardy was further accused of practicing theScorched-Earthpolicy to counter theJapanese Army's advances in East and supervised to burn thousand fishing boats to block any potential movement of invading Japanese Army troops.:533–535[24]These measures aggravated starvation and famine and the relief was only ordered whenLord Wavellbecame theViceroy,using theIndian Armyto organise relief.:534[24]However, by that time, the winter crop had arrived and famine conditions had already eased, after millions had earlier perished.:534[24]

TheIndian press,notably theHindu press,had become very critical of his role and theBengali Hindusheld him directly responsible for the famine.[25]

Bengal in 1940s:Suhrawardy's proposal of United Bengal eventually failed due toriots in 1946.[26]

During thegeneral electionsheld in 1945 inIndia,Suhrawardy campaigned againstK. Nazimuddinfor thePremiership of Bengal,and secured enough political endorsement from theMuslim Leaguethat allowed him to form theprovincial governmentas itsPrime Minister– the onlyMuslim League-led government inIndiain 1946.[2]TheCongress Partyhad been very critical of his role and the government and limited the number of cabinets departments by dismissing the Hindu members of his cabinet.[25]

By 1946-47, the support for thePakistan Movementamong theIndian Muslimshad become very popular and it became inevitable for thecreationof thenation-statethrough thepartitionofIndiaby 1947.[27]The issue of communalism based on the religious beliefs prevented the inclusion of Hindu-majority districts ofPunjabandBengalin theFederation of Pakistanas theCongress Partyand their allies theHindu Mahasabhasought the division of these provinces on communal lines.[27]

To prevent the violence, riots, and long-termborder disputes,Suhrawardy joined hands with the demands of preventing thesecond partitionof Bengal by endorsing the idea of independentUnited Bengal,alongside withSarat Chandra Bose,K. Shanker Roy,Abul Hashim,Satya Ranjan BakshiandF. Q. Choudhri.[28][29]

Suhrawardy reached a compromise with theBosewhen he sought to form thecoalition governmentbetweenCongress Party'sBengal sectionwith theMuslim League'sBengal Division.[27]Proponents of the plan urged theIndian publicinBengalto reject the communal divisions and uphold the vision ofan independentbut unitedBengal.[27]In a press conference held in New Delhi on 27 April 1947 Suhrawardy presented his plan for a united and independent Bengal and Abul Hashim issued a similar statement in Calcutta on 29 April.[28]

The issue of United Bengal was met with favorable views and backing ofMuhammad Ali Jinnahwho saw it for the benefits for Bengali Muslims.:285[30]Jinnah viewed this plan in a long term geostrategic point in believing thatindependent Bengalled by Muslim premier would forged acloser alliancewithPakistanthan it would withIndia.:285[30][26]

Despite Jinnah's backing, the plan was fiercely opposed byK. Nazimuddin,his brotherK. Shahabuddin,Nurul Amin,andMohammad Akramwho wanted to integration with Pakistan.:25[31]Amongst Bengali Hindus, the plan was not supported, therefore supporting for the creation of theWest Bengal– thepartition.:25–26[31]During this time, Suhrawardy led massive rallies on every Friday for the cause ofindependence movementto separate fromIndia,further fueling tensions with Congress Party.:25–26[31]

Direct Action Day (16 August 1946)

Vorlage:See alsoSuhrawardy and other Muslim League leaders reportedly delivered provocative speeches reminding the Bengali Muslims of the historical Islamic victory and urged them to follow the same way on 16 August. The popular historian, Devendra Panigrahi, in his famous bookIndia's Partition: The Story of Imperialism in Retreat[32]quotes from the 13 August 1946 issue of Muslim league mouthpiece(The Star of India), "Muslims must remember that it was in Ramzan that permission for jehad was granted by Allah. It was in Ramzan that the Battle of Badr, the first open conflict between Islam and heathens, was fought and won by 313 Muslims and again it was in Ramzan that 10,000 Muslims under the Holy Prophet conquered Mecca and established the Kingdom of Heaven and the commonwealth of Islam in Arabia. The Muslim League is fortunate that it is starting its action on this Holy month and day".According to historian Juthika Roy, Jinnah gave a free hand to Suhrawardy to terrorise the Hindus and start a pogrom against Hindus.[33]On 16 August 1946, themassive bloody riotserupted inCalcutta,killings scores of Hindus at the hands of rioters.[34]Suhrawardy attempted to control the situation by unsuccessfully calling for peace and deployment of theIndian Armyin Calcutta with no success.[34]The riots ended with thousand deaths and theIndian pressblaming Suhrawardy of obstructing the police work, which is well documented by several authors and eyewitnesses.[35][36][37][38]According to police intelligentsia, the riots were instigated by members of the Muslim League and its affiliate Volunteer Corps after listening to the speeches made by Nazimuddin and Suhrawardy,[39][40][41][42][43]in the city in order to enforce the declaration by the Muslim League that Muslims were to 'suspend all business' to support their demand for an independent Pakistan.[39][40][41][44]However, supporters of the Muslim League believed that the Congress Party was behind the violence in an effort to weaken the fragile Muslim League government in Bengal, further generating the controversy about the real culprits.[39][45][43]Historian Joya Chatterji allocates much of the responsibility to Suhrawardy, for setting up the confrontation and failing to stop the rioting, but points out that Hindu leaders were also culpable.[46]

A senior intelligence operative wrote to a senior British officer based at Fort William after the 'Great Calcutta Killings' after theCalcutta riotsrevealing Suhrawardy's villainous nature. He wrote, "There is hardly a person in Calcutta who has a good word for Suhrawardy, respectable Muslims included. For years he has been known as "The king of the goondas" and my own private opinion is that he fully anticipated what was going to happen, and allowed it to work itself up, and probably organised the disturbance with his goonda gangs as this type of individual has to receive compensation every now and again."[47]According toTathagata Roy,the Governor of Tripura, Suhrawardy had pre-planned the riot long back, evident from the fact that demographic changes were being made in the Calcutta Police constabulary.[48]Even the Bangladeshi historianHarun-or-Rashid,in his bookThe Foreshadowing of Bangladesh: Bengal Muslim League & Muslim Politics: 1906-1947,[49]also disclosed the diabolic role of Suhrawardy in orchestrating riots against the Hindus in a pre-planned manner and safeguarding the Muslim goons from the police.

Eventually, the United Bengal plan eventually failed which had earlier been facing the opposition of the Muslim League led byK. Nazimuddin,Congress Party,the Hindu Mahasabha[50]and theCommunist Party of India.[51]Eventually, the Bengali Hindus voted for thepartitionthat created theWest Bengaljoining theUnion of India,andEast Bengalwas left with no choice but to join theFederation of Pakistanon 14 August 1947.:26–27[31][26]

Nazimuddinwas elected for theChief Minister of East Bengal.[10]After thepartitionofIndia,Suhrawardy remained inCalcuttaand made calls for peace when soughting help fromMahatma Gandhi;he returned in 5 March 1949 to Pakistan.[52]

After Jinnah's death andK. Nazimuddinbecoming theGovernor-Generalin 1948, Suhrawardy was forced out from theMuslim Leaguebut the latter co-founded theAwami Muslim League,alongside with the conservative cleric,Maulana Bhasaniand others in 1949.[10][53]He shifted fromMuslim unityto greatly espousing theBengali nationalism,becoming critical of theGovernment of East Pakistan.[54]In 1950, he begin opposing the conservative agenda of Prime MinisterK. Nazimuddin,and forged an alliance with theCommunist Partyand other left-oriented parties, which was known as theUnited Front.[55]

After the dismissal of Prime MinisterK. Nazimuddinin 1953, Suhrawardy joined theMinistry of Talentsas aMinister of Law and Justiceunder Prime MinisterMohammad Ali Bogra,taking responsibility ofdraftingtheConstitution of Pakistan.:145[30]He also oversaw the implementation of theunification of the West Pakistanas a counterbalance to theEast,in a prospect for providing the better governance.:145[30]

Nonetheless, there were no concrete steps taken by Suhrwardy government to address this issue and it was not until theYahya administrationwhenit was repealedin 1970.[59]At theNational Assembly,theAwami Leagueinitiated the constitutional work on reviving thejoint electoratesystem but faced strong pressure and opposition from theMuslim Leagueto implement this issue.[11]The Muslim League had called for the separate electoral system which had subsequent public support over this issue; theEasthad favored the joint electorate system.[11]

Thecentral governmentled by Prime Minister Suhrawardy focused towards the implementation of theplannedeconomy.[11]His relations with theStock Exchangeand thebusiness communitydeteriorated when he announced of distributing theUS$10 millionICA aidbetweenWestandEast,and establishing theshipping corporationat the expense of West's revenues.:149[30]Massive labor strikes broke out in West against his economic policy in major cities of Pakistan, eventually leaders of thestock exchangemet with PresidentMirzato address their concerns and issues.[11][11]

In 1956, Prime Minister Suhrawardy became the Pakistan's first Prime Minister to paid a state visit toChinawhen he went to meet withChinese PremierZhou Enlaiin Beijing, taking with him the entire diplomatic mission including thePakistan Ambassador to China,Dr. Ahmed Ali,who had established thePakistan embassyin Beijing and formed Pak-China friendship and strengthened the official diplomatic friendship between Pakistan and China.[70]In 1957, he well received theChinese PremierZhou EnlaiinKarachiwhen he reciprocated the visit inKarachi.[68]

In 1956-57, Prime Minister Suhrawardy accused India of supporting insurgency in different parts of the country, and leveled accusations against his counterpart, Indian Prime MinisterJawaharlal Nehruofundoing the partitionofIndia.[71]

Decline and resignation

His economic policy and distribution oftaxation revenuesbetweenWestandEastinvited massive labour strikes as well as opposition from thestock exchange communityand theprivate sectorin 1956.[72]Furthermore, his policy inclination towards the United States brought great ire and opposition from within theAwami League,which had been favoring the clericMaulana Bhasani,who had been suspicious of American motives. Suhrawardy had strongly advocated for Pakistan's membership in theSoutheast Asia Treaty Organization,which was aimed towards containingcommunism;he was in direct conflict with Bhasani on this issue.[73]

To the dismay of his party, Suhrawardy became closer to PresidentIskander Mirzaon many issues.[68]There were massive protests carried out in theEastagainst Prime Minister Suhrawardy by the Awami League when the United States dispatched aMilitary Assistance Advisory Group(MAAG) to thePakistani military.[74]Eventually, Bhashani andYar Mohammadchallenged him for the party's presidency, as both men had managed to consolidate the Awami League, but they failed to carry the party mass with them.[65]

Intending to break President Mirza's control over Parliament, Suhrawardy asked President Mirza to call a session of theNational Assemblyand a seek aVote of Confidencefrom theParliament,where Prime Minister Suhrawardy's allies had the majority.[75]When President Mirza declined to call the session, Prime Minister Suhrawardy unsuccessfully attempted to bring aparliamentary resolutioncalling for the resignation in the Parliament.:187–188[76]

His alignment with the United States at the expense of theSoviet Unioncaused Prime Minister Suhrawardy to eventually lose control over the presidency of party to junior leadership underAbdur Rashid Tarkabagish.:196[76][77][78]Threatened with President Mirza's retaliation after the failedparliamentary resolutionand facing to have lost themajorityin theNational Assembly,Prime Minister Suhrawardy faced the similarcircumstances as his predecessorand surprisingly tendered his resignation on 17 October 1957.[78][79]

The news of his resignation led to protests inKarachi,but Prime Minister Suhrawardy down played the event in 1957.:159[12]In 1960, he retired from politics, departing forBeirut.[2]

Public and personal life

In 1920, Suhrawardy wasarrangedto marry,Fatima(d.1922), the daughter of JusticeSir Abdur Rahimwho was also a politician. The marriage produced two children, Ahmed Shahab Suhrawardy andJahan Suhrawardy— Ahmed died ofpneumoniawhile studying in London whilst his daughter,Jahanwas arranged to married off to Shah Ahmed Sulaiman, son of JusticeSir Shah Sulaiman.

After his passing in 1963, the Suhrawardy family remained active innational politics,and his granddaughterShahida Jamilsubsequently is a politician with thePML(N)and briefly served as theLaw Ministerin 1999 and 2007.

In 1940, Suhrawardy marriedVera Alexandrovna Tiscenko,a Russian theatre actress anddancerwhom he knew through hisolder brother'swork in Russia.[80]Veraconverted toIslamby taking the name of Begum Noor Jehan, and took thecitizenshipofPakistanin 1947.[81]She was a Russian actress ofPolishdescent from theMoscow Art Theatreand protege ofOlga Knipper.[82][83]Suhrawardy andVera Tiscenkofiled for a divorce inSindh High Court,which was said to be bitter when theSindh High Courtordered for distribution of Surawardy's wealth with Vera;:111[12]the divorce was finalized in 1951.[80]

Following the divorce,Veramoved to the United States with their only son, Rashid Suhrawardy, (known as Robert Ashby), who is a British actor living in London and briefly portrayedJawaharlal Nehruin filmJinnahin 1998.
