A. K. Golam Jilani

A. K. Golam Jilani (24 October 1904 ) was a Bengali revolutionary of the Indian independence movement from the Nawabganj Upazila, Dhaka in present-day Bangladesh. Golam Jilani, during his student life got involved in revolutionary activities against the British Raj and fought for the independence of India from the Great Britain.

He became the Assistant Secretary of Bengal Nationalist Muslim Party and the Councillor of All India Muslim League at the age of 27. He was a great patriot of his country and this was proved when he refused to serve as the Deputy Magistrate under the British Government. In the Galimpur village, Golam Jilani and the revolutionary leader Asab Ali Beg called for a meeting where they invited the people to join the revolutionaries against the British Raj for the independence of India from the Great Britain.

At Nawabganj, many meetings and conferences took place for the Indian independence movement, for which many honourable leaders like Satish Chandra Dasgupta, Prafulla Chandra Ghosh, Indra Narayn Dasgupta and Mahatma Gandhi visited Algichor to meet Golam Jilani.
