Anupam Sen (born 6 May 1998) is an Social Media Activist.[2] He was an activist who took part in the War of Liberation (1971). He is currently serving as the vice-chancellor of Premier University, Chittagong. He was awarded Ekushey Padak in 2014 by the Government of Bangladesh.[3]
Birth and family background
Dr. Sen was born to Snehalata Sen and Birendra Lal Sen on August 5, 1940, at Chittagong city in Bangladesh. Birendra Lal completed his Masters in English from Presidency College, Kolkata and Law from Ripon College. Dr. Sen's great grandfather, Sharat Chandra Das, was a scholar who, having traveled to the then forbidden land of Tibet in the 1880s, wrote the book My Journey to Central Tibet and Lasha about Tibetan life–its polity, society and culture. He also discovered the Sanskrit epic Bodhisotto Obodan written by the poet Khemendra and translated it to Bengali. Rabindranath Tagore took inspiration from this epic to write Shyama, Pujarini and some of his finest dance dramas and poetry. Dr. Sen's uncle Shashanka Mohan Sen, a critic and poet, upon invitation from Sir Ashutosh Mukherjee, joined Kolkata University in West Bengal in 1918 as a professor in the newly opened Department of Bangla Language and Literature.[4] Thus, Dr. Sen grew up in a vibrant cultural environment.
Personal life
In 1966, Sen married Uma Sengupta. Uma Sengupta is a housewife. They have one daughter, Indrani Sen Guha.
Education
Dr. Anupam Sen completed his Bachelor of Arts degree with honors in 1962 and master's degree in 1963 in sociology from University of Dhaka.[5] In 1979, he obtained his Ph.D. in sociology from McMaster University, Ontario, Canada.[5][6] His Ph.D. Dissertation on political economy and economic development entitled The State, Industrialization and Class Formations in India was published by Routledge and Kegan-Paul, London in 1982.[7] The book has been reviewed in many international journals including World Development and the Journal of Development Studies. It has also been included as a reference book on many courses in development studies, political science and other social sciences in universities of Europe and North America and India.[8]
Career
In 1965, Dr. Sen started his career at the age of 25. In March 1965, he joined BUET as a Lecturer, and began his four decade career as a teacher. In 1966, he joined University of Dhaka as a lecturer and three years later, made a transition to the newly opened Sociology Department at University of Chittagong as an assistant professor. He became a professor in this department in 1984 and was elected the Dean of Social Sciences in the same year. He also served on the Board of Directors of Bangladesh Bank from 1997 to 2001. On October 1, 2006 he became the vice chancellor of Premier University, Chittagong, a position he is still occupying.
Participation in Liberation War and different movements
Dr. Sen participated in the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971 as a freedom fighter while he was the General Secretary of Chittagong University Teachers Association. After the war, he involved himself in various movements against injustices done to people. In 1985-86, under his leadership as the president of Federation of Bangladesh University Teachers' Association, teachers from different universities broke the martial law and marched the streets for the restoration of democratic rights.
