Jahanara Imamwas a Bangladeshi Bengali writer and political activist. She is most widely remembered for her efforts to bring those accused of committing war crimes in the Bangladesh Liberation War to trial. She was known as "Shaheed Janani" (Mother of Martyrs).
Jahanara Imam was born to a progressive Muslim family in Murshidabad, in West Bengal, India. She was the eldest daughter in a family of three brothers and four sisters. Her dad Syed Abdul Ali was a Civil Servant in the Bengal Civil Service and she lived in many different parts of Bengal - wherever her father was posted. She had a very liberal upbringing and education and was an exceptionally spirited person. Her dad recognized this and made certain she received the best
possible education. Her mom Hamida Ali, who spent her entire life looking after her family and bringing up her kids, also had high ambitions for her daughter. At that time there was a lot of social pressure against Muslim women pursuing further studies, but she was definite that Jahanara's education would not be constrained. Her parents' ambitions and their belief in education for women left a deep impression on Jahanara.
