Trailokyanath Chakraborty (2 August 1889 – 9 August 1970) was a British Indian independence activist and later East Pakistani politician. He led and worked with other freedom fighters. He lived for 80 years, spending 30 years in jail.[1] Some of his time in jail was in Bangladesh, which was under Pakistani control, after the partition of India into India and Pakistan. After independence in 1947, he became a politician and parliamentary member from East Pakistan (present-day Bangladesh). In spite of being a freedom fighter and spending much of his life in hiding, he had a strong influence in the family of his brothers, education of grandchildren and their marriage decisions. He inspired many female grandchildren to get higher educational degrees. He was never married.[2]
