I've tidied this page up a bit. It could still do with more detail and an accuracy check, particularly on Suhrawardy's political life in Pakistan and his death. I don't think Freedom at Midnight is a particularly accurate source! -- TinaSparkle 15:26, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Death anniversary

Today is the 44th death anniversary of Suhrawardy. I found befitting coverage of him in Dhaka media(both print and electronic).President of Bangladesh has also given recalling message on this occassion.On this day, I would request wikipedians from Bangladesh, Pakistan, India and other countries to devote more time in depicting this true liberal democrate of South Asia.

Yes, President & the defecto Prime Minister of Bangldesh paid profound tributes to Suhrawardy on his 44th death anniversary. But it is my strong believe that there are not enough publications on Suhrawardy available in English other than that of Shaista Ekramullah's one. Can anyone help me in finding more English books, articles on Suhrawardy?Al-minar (talk) 12:25, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

The only full biography of Suhrawardy in English is the Ikramullah one (Karachi; Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991). His own memoirs were edited by Mohammad H.R. Talukdar (Dhaka: University Press, 1987). Other than that, there are references to him in other books: I seem to remember quite a bit (very negative) in M.J. Akbar's biography of Jawaharlal Nehru. There is a little in Freedom at Midnight but, as I've said above, I don't think that book is a reliable source. Most accounts of partition have some reference to him but generally do not say much about the rest of his career and life beyond his involvement in the Direct Action Day in Calcutta and other events of 1945-47. -- TinaSparkle (talk) 14:44, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
