Ajit Chakraborty

Ajit Chakraborty: In the words of the author Ajit Chakraborty, families like his do not record dates of birth. This seventy-plus “youth” was born in present-day Faridpur, Bangladesh, into an ordinary middle-class family. Although he pursued postgraduate studies in physics, he did not appear for the final examination. Since the 1970s of the last century, he has been a full-time political activist and remains, even today, deeply stirred by dreams of a new dawn.
