Once again this publication highlights those who have excelled in business, entrepreneurship, public service, entertainment, politics, science, the arts, sport and literature. The list of extraordinary talent just goes on and on. I’m sure the success stories within these pages will inspire the next generation of British Bangladeshis who will take this young and fast growing community from strength to strength. As well as congratulating all those who appear in this year’s list, I’d like to congratulate Britain’s Bangladeshi community and say thank you for all you do for our country. This Government is on the side of hard-working families who want to get on in life and do the right thing. These are values that I know are shared by British Bangladeshis across the country. It gives me tremendous pride to be Prime Minister of a country where people of any ethnicity or background can and do make a positive difference to society. And I think the British Bangladeshi Who’s Who illustrates this over and over again.

Both are inspirational and both bring out the best in people in my humble view. is is the 6th edition and dare I say the best edition to date. e British Bangladeshi Who’s Who is original and one of a kind. Others may come and go, but it is my belief that the original always has a special place. e community has taken this publication as their own and indeed it is not a publication produced by one or two individuals or even a team, it is a publication produced, showcased and supported by the whole community and that makes it unique. I must thank all those who have gone that extra length in terms of support, including the sponsors, who every year provide immeasurable assistance allowing this publication and the gala dinner that follows to be successful. Enjoy the read, as I certainly have.

    Talent. Success. Leadership inspired TALENT . SUCCESS . LEADERSHIP FOREWORD Chair of the Judging Panel Mr Iqbal Wahhab OBE Thirty years ago my first job was as a trainee reporter for The Asian Times. Arif Ali, the publisher, was fond of saying that minorities in the UK had to have the right to be “as good, as bad and as indifferent as everyone else”. It’s fair to say that some in the British Bangladeshi community have in the past condemned themselves in the last two categories. But whilst our youngsters face big challenges with toxic combination of criminalisation and radicalisation, we do ourselves a disservice by not celebrating the increasing number of good news stories and successes we have amongst us. From the East End of London, Sabirul Islam chose to put his entrepreneurial skills to great use and over the last year has become a global brand. Also from the east end and also now on the international stage is former extremist Ed Husain The word “inspiration” in the title of who travels the world speaking to Ayesha and Abdal’s great project governments about how we need to needs a catalyst to trigger it and go about making the world a safer that involves mentoring.

What was once a united state of Bengal is now divided into two parts, the sovereign country of Bangladesh and the state of West Bengal in India. The predominant religion in Bangladesh is Islam and that of West Bengal is Hinduism. Throughout history, ideas and identifications of certain elements of culture as ‘tradition’ have played an important role in the construction of notions of identity in this region, where multiple cultures continue to meet.

The calibre of the conversations was a rare happening in our region.¨ -Dayanita Singh, DAS 2016 Participating Artist 5 The Dhaka Art Summit (DAS) is an international, non-commercial research and exhibition platform for art and architecture connected to South Asia. With a core focus on Bangladesh, DAS re-examines how we think about these forms of art in both a regional and an international context. Founded in 2012 by the Samdani Art Foundation, DAS is held every two years in a public- private partnership with the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, with the support of the Ministry of Cultural Affairs and Ministry of Information of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, the National Tourism Board, Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), and in association with the Bangladesh National Museum. Rejecting the traditional biennale format to create a more generative space for art and exchange, DAS’s interdisciplinary programme concentrates its endeavours towards the advancement and promotion of South Asia’s contemporary and historic creative communities.

This years edition promises to be more exciting and a more enhanced depiction of the community’s success and the achievements of individuals. The publication highlights some achievers who have received no previous exposure to British Bangladeshis and I feel proud that through this medium, namely the publication, we are able to bring these people to the forefront of our community’s attention as well as to the awareness of Britain. The awards are designed to recognise the efforts of those who have gone that extra mile and have dedicated large segments of their life or career to become successful and contribute immensely to society.
