Syed Azizur Rahman

Syed Azizur Rahman (; 1901–1956), also known by his daak naam Nawab Mia , was a Bengali politician and a former whip of the East Bengal Legislative Assembly.

Early life and education Azizur Rahman was born in 1901 to an aristocratic Bengali Muslim zamindar family in Batamara in Bhola Island, which was then a part of the Backergunge District of the Bengal Presidency. The zamindari was established by his grandfather, Syed Turab Ali, after initially being gifted 360 acres of land in Bhola by Kalaraja, a zamindar of Ulania. Ali was originally from Jaunpur, India and associated with its Pir family but was stationed as a police constable in the greater Barisal region. Azizur Rahman's father, Syed Altafur Rahman, died when Azizur Rahman was nine years old. He was then brought up at the Agarpur Miyan Bari in Wazirpur, which was the home of his maternal grandfather. On his mother's side, Azizur Rahman was a descendant of Pathan general Shah Muhammad Ashraf Jahan Khan. In the same year, he opened a langar khana in his own home, the Batamara Darogah Bari, where he distributed food for one month. Seeing his initiative, the government later opened langar khanas in different parts of the region. Azizur Rahman's elder daughter married Captain Kabiruddin Ahmad (former deputy director of ports and shipping, BIWTA), the third son of Khan Bahadur Hemayetuddin Ahmad.

Death Azizur Rahman died in 1956.
