Early life

Andaleeve Rahman Partho was born on 20 April 1974 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. His father, Naziur Rahman Manzur, was a politician and former minister who served as the founding chairman of the Bangladesh Jatiya Party and as the Mayor of Dhaka. They belonged to a Bengali Muslim family known as the Taluqdars of Balia in Bhola Island. Through his paternal grandfather Bazlur Rahman Taluqdar, Andaleeve Rahman was a direct descendant of Munga Khan, an eighteenth-century figure who arrived in Bengal from Garmsir in Afghanistan and settled in the village of Saluka in greater Barisal. Khan's son, Shaykh Muhammad, was part of the landed aristocracy and received a kharija taluq in Bhola's Balia and Gazaria areas, where the family established themselves as taluqdars. Bazlur Rahman was also a direct descendant of the royal family of Murshidabad; his trade inspectors and agents regularly travelled to Balia to oversee commerce, leading to the family’s permanent settlement and influence on the island. Andaleeve Rahman's mother Sheikh Reba was the niece of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and through her grandfather Sheikh Lutfar Rahman, they are descendants of the 17th-century Iraqi Arab Muslim preacher Sheikh Abdul Awal of Baghdad. His paternal uncle, Dr. Azizur Rahman, is a notable scientist.

Education

Andaleeve was a student at St. Joseph High School and later at Government Laboratory High School before moving to London to earn his Bachelor of Laws degree.

He then returned to the country and joined as an apprentice under the supervision of Barrister Rafiqul Haque and worked with him for five years. He is currently working as a lawyer in Dhaka and serves as principal of the British School of Law in Dhaka.

Rahman has been actively involved in politics with his father, Najiur Rahman Manju, for over 25 years. When his father died on 27 April, Andalib was elected chairman of the Bangladesh Jatiya Party.
