Biography

As a Professor of Law and Fulbright Fellow, MAIMUL AHSAN KHAN has served to a number of American (UIUC-Law, UC-Davis-Berkeley), Technological University of Liberec of Czech, and Bangladeshi universities, Amnesty International-USA (Country Specialist on Afghanistan), Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies, UK-based Islamic Foundation in Leicester, Islamic University (Gazipur), International University in Qazvin. He has published a good number of books (more than two dozen) and many articles in Bengali, Russian, and English languages.

A former Chair of the Department of Law at the University of Dhaka and the Islamic University of Bangladesh at Gazipur, Khan has also served as a Research Fellow at Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies. He was one of the judges of the international symbolic court held at Imam Sadiq University in Tehran that sentenced Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi to fifteen years in jail for her support for an ethnic cleansing campaign against the country’s minority Rohingya Muslims.

Recently Professor Khan has retired from the University of Dhaka and joined as Dean, Social Sciences, Leading University, which is a very renowned and special higher educational institution in Bangladesh that connects its teachers and students with the diverse professional entities and groups around the world.

Prof. MAIMUL KHAN contributed to many Soviet, Iranian, Turkish, Czech, Malaysian, Taiwanese, Japanese, and American academic institutions and circles with a distinct voice of protest against all kinds of injustices, including violations of human rights in general and discrimination against Muslims and Bengalis in particular. From Tashkent State University, in 1985, he was awarded Ph.D. for his research on Jurisprudence with special emphasis on Islamic legal postulates as applied in the constitutional development of the Middle Eastern countries and tried to make some of the Soviet academic groups (especially Muslim-Communists) a little bit sensitive to Islamic issues of global and regional significance.

Prof. Khan from the very beginning of his research life if 1980s has successfully challenged the long-lasting Soviet communist belief that Islam was dead and Muslims had no future at world stage as civilization-builders, and successfully demonstrated in his research that Islam was alive and Muslims had been coming back as an integral part of the overall religious, spiritual, and civilizational revival around the globe to play an active role in legal, political, cultural, commercial, and diplomatic life in the Middle East, Muslim World, and beyond.
