Syed Alimuddin Ahmad (Bengali: সৈয়দ আলীমুদ্দীন আহমদ; 1884 - 1920), also known as Master Saheb (Bengali: মাস্টার সাহেব), was an underground Bengali activist and revolutionary who participated in the anti-British independence movement.
Early life and family[edit]
Syed Alimuddin Ahmad was born in 1884 to a Bengali Muslim family of Syeds in Jamadar Lane, Dhaka. His father, Syed Amiruddin, was a tailor by profession and owned a small tailoring shop. Following his father's death, he started working as a home tutor. Ahmad was a devout Sunni Muslim.[1]
Activism[edit]
The start of Ahmad's activism roughly coincided with the 1905 Partition of Bengal movement. As an accomplice of Hemchandra Ghosh, he joined Ghosh's underground organisation. During World War I, many revolutionaries and activists were caught by the British though many, such as Ahmad, continued to organise themselves underground. Ahmad provided shelter for numerous rebels and assisted them with weaponry. He continued his anti-imperial activities in hiding to avoid police arrests. The colonial police were never able to capture him.
Death[edit]
Alimuddin Ahmad died of tuberculosis in his early thirties in 1920.[2] Alimuddin Street in Calcutta was named after him.[1]
