Ibrahim Suhrawardy (16 January 1896 – 20 May 1971) was an Indian educationist, author and linguist from Balasore, Odisha. He is credited to have written the first English grammar books in Odia for the native students.[1][2][3] He achieved high distinction in English studies in British India and taught many generations of students and scholars how western languages could be pursued to great educational advantage. Ibrahim was also the first muslim from Orissa province to have qualified the prestigious Indian Civil Services Examinations in 1921. He was one of the active Satyagrahis during the Inchudi Satyagraha movement in 1930.[4]
