Biography
Early Life and Education
Sarjis Alam was raised in a culturally diverse and non-communal environment near the Bangladesh-India border. He completed his Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) at BAF Shaheen College Dhaka. He later pursued higher education at the University of Dhaka, earning a Bachelor of Science (BSc) and a Master of Science (MSc) in Zoology.
Family
Sarjis Alam comes from a politically aware family. His father, Aktaruzzaman Saju, is a businessman and a former member of the Awami League, while his mother, Bakera Begum, is a homemaker.
Students movements
Sarjis Alam gained national prominence through his active involvement in the student movement in Bangladesh. As a coordinator of the Anti-Discrimination Students Movement, he advocated for reforms to the country's controversial quota system in government jobs, which many students criticized as inequitable and outdated. This movement, which began as a grassroots campaign, quickly grew into a nationwide protest.[5] In 2019, Alam was elected to the Dhaka University Central Students' Union (DUCSU), where he represented the interests of students and voiced their demands for systemic reforms.[6] His leadership and ability to mobilize large groups of students earned him significant recognition. The protests reached a climax in 2024, leading to significant political changes in the country, including the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on August 5, 2024.[7] Following this political shift, Alam and his fellow activists advocated for Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus to lead an interim government, reflecting their vision for a reformed and inclusive political landscape.[8] Alam's role in the movement demonstrated his commitment to human rights and youth empowerment, marking him as a key figure in Bangladesh's student activism history.
