Jnanendra Chandra Majumdar (also Janendra Chandra Majumder) was an anti-colonial Bengali politician, and a representative of East Pakistan to the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan.
A long-time associate of Indian National Congress, Majumdar sided with Sarat Bose during the evolution of All India Forward Bloc faction.[1] In 1940, he won a bye-election[a] from East Mymensingh —a dual-member[b] rural constituency— to the Bengal Provincial Assembly, drubbing Satish Chandra Ray Chowdhuri, the official Congress candidate, with considerable organizational support from Bose.[1][2][c]
In 1946, Majumdar re-stood as an independent candidate, but failed[d] to be re-elected; nonetheless, he was elected[e] by the Assembly as a Congress candidate to the Constituent Assembly of India.[4][6] After partition, Mymensingh went to Pakistan and Majumdar became a member of the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan.[7]
Jnanendra Chandra Majumder, a Bose-group candidate, defeated his rival, the official Congress candidate Satish Chandra Ray Chowdhury, by a big margin in the bye-election from the non-Muslim general constituency of East Mymensingh.
