Biography
[edit]Early Life and Education
[edit]Sajid Mollah was born into a humble family in Saligram, a remote village in Nadia district, West Bengal. His father, Nazir Mollah, and mother, Nurjahan Mollah, played a significant role in his upbringing. He has a twin brother named Sahid Mollah. Though he never met his grandfather, a well-known storyteller in his village, Sajid's early exposure to writing and storytelling was shaped by him. Early in life, Sajid developed a love of writing; his works were first published in several newspapers and publications during his childhood. Under several aliases, he penned for popular Bengali journals including Shiladitya, Puber Kalom, and Nava Kallol.
His poetry Eso Tumi was first significantly published in a well-known Bengali newspaper in 2014 under Puber Kalom.[2] Though he loved books, his academic career veered differently. 2012 saw Sajid finish his intermediate schooling (Madhyamik), then in 2014 he finished his higher secondary education. Though the discipline is against his natural aptitude, he graduated from the University of Kalyani with honours in Geography in 2017. His love of writing persisted over this time, but his emphasis started to move towards non-fiction.
Shift to Non-Fiction and Research
[edit]Under familial pressure, Sajid moved to Kolkata in 2017 to get ready for the West Bengal Civil Service (WBCS) exam following his graduation. In his life, this was a sea change. He became somewhat interested in Indian economy and polity, especially public finance, during his training for civil services. His developing obsession with these topics drove him to enlist in Netaji Subhas Open University (NSOU) to work on an economics degree. Sajid discovered literature during this time; artistic and lovely, but it was not able to inspire the social change he was so committed to. Focussing on research that would highlight real-world concerns, he switched totally to non-fiction writing. Sajid has been regularly releasing his non-fiction work on several internationally known journals and websites since 2019. His works explore economic disparities and the shortcomings in government policies supporting the privileged. He has become a strong advocate for policies that benefit the majority of society, rather than the privileged few. [3]
Sajid’s work is not limited to India; he sees himself as a global writer hoping to draw attention to social and economic inequalities all around. Giving up fiction makes sense for him as most people live in suffering and sorrow and enjoyment is a kind of mockery in such a society. He has committed himself to produce non-fiction that advances society by tackling practical problems and providing analysis of public finance and economic transformation. Among his works are several research articles sent to different publications. Published in prestigious online magazines, his pieces investigate subjects including public finance, economics, and the challenges of the average man. Sajid's main objective is to increase awareness of the systematic disparities brought about by government policies catering to the wealthiest 1% while ignoring the interests of the general people.
Philosophical and political views
[edit]Sajid is deeply influenced by Ralph Waldo Emerson’s philosophy: “The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honourable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” This quote encapsulates his life’s mission, which is to use his writing and research to make a positive difference in society. His passion for public finance stems from his belief that governments have a responsibility to create policies that promote the welfare of all citizens, not just a select few.
Sajid Mollah is a strong supporter of democratic socialism, a political doctrine that emphasises the necessity for social and economic equality achieved by democratic methods. His beliefs are firmly anchored in the belief that governments should prioritise the well-being of the great majority of people, particularly the economically disadvantaged, over the interests of a wealthy elite. Mollah supports policies that ensure equitable resource allocation, increased government investment in public services, and fair taxation systems that benefit the working class and poor. In addition to his support for democratic socialism, Mollah is vehemently opposed to radical nationalism. He believes that radical nationalist ideas, which frequently falsify history and incite division, constitute a serious threat to social cohesion and economic success. Mollah contends that such movements advocate exclusionary policies that benefit a select few while marginalising minority communities and increasing economic inequality. He is particularly critical of the growth of radical nationalism in India under the BJP leadership, pointing out the hazardous link between nationalism and economic policies that disproportionately benefit the wealthy at the expense of the general public. Mollah's political ideology shows his conviction in the value of human dignity and compassion. He envisions a society in which governments uphold justice and equality, allowing all citizens to thrive, regardless of social or economic status. His support for democratic socialism and resistance to radical nationalism have become major themes in his writing and activism, guiding his attempts to expose injustice and push for a more equal society.
Published works
[edit]How Will This Hell Turn Into Heaven: A Political and Economic Review ( 2024)
[edit]Sajid Mollah's historic book, How Will This Hell Turn Into Heaven: A Political and Economic Review, a thorough and audacious study of world inequality, political failings, and the discrepancies between the rich elite and the suffering majority. Available worldwide on several e-commerce platforms and bookstores, the book offers a fresh and strong viewpoint on the urgent problems of the modern society.
Mollah explores the core of modern political and economic systems in this extensive book, revealing the terrible reality that impact 99% of the world's population. His book reveals the underlying reasons of the skyrocketing cost of living, extreme inequality, and rising poverty in many nations—including India—including those of which He exposes how governments favour the wealthiest 1% while leaving the masses to struggle, so undermining their capacity to serve their people. Mollah exposes the terrible consequences of unbridled capitalism, dishonest government, and extreme nationalism, showing how these forces have produced an unsustainable planet in which most people live deprived and suffering is the norm. The worldwide character of these crises is one of the main ideas of the book. Mollah links the dots between the emergence of fascism in Modi's India, capitalist-driven false economic development, and the perilous concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few. His research exposes the illusion of economic development in nations claiming to be the "5th largest economy," when most of their people still live in poverty. Mollah questions this story, demonstrating how little so-called development helps to better the lot of common people, so widening the gulf between the rich and the poor.
Mollah focusses on in a key section of the book the causal link between inequality, corruption, and unemployment, so exposing how these linked problems support a cycle of poverty and exclusion. He looks at the policies of the BJP government in India, making connections with like circumstances around the globe, and investigates how radical nationalism and historical revisionism skew reality and generate threatening precedents. Mollah, on the other hand, presents a vision based on democratic socialism and the idea of a "humane economy" that stresses people above profits. Real-world case studies and examples support his theories, which demonstrate how such values might result in long-lasting, favourable change.
From analysis to action, the second half of How Will This Hell Turn Into Heaven outlines doable answers to the world crises Mollah notes. Inspired by ideas from British Fabian Socialism as well as the ideas of Rabindranath Tagore and Jawahralal Nehru, he outlines a road map for building a fairer, more just society. Mollah advocates governments carrying out policies stressing the common good, funding public services, building fair tax systems, and guaranteeing equitable distribution of wealth. By doing this, he contends, the world can go from the present "hell" to a "heaven" where 99% of people flourish rather than merely the privileged few.
Mollah's book is a call to action rather than only a scholarly or theoretical treatise. Arguing that society can create a future whereby justice, fairness, and prosperity are reality for all, not only ideals, he exhorts readers to participate in a movement for change by adopting democratic socialism and the humane economy. Positioned as a guide for producing significant change, his book is a rallying cry for those looking for actual answers to issues governments overlook.
