Nawab of Bogra
Abdus Sobhan Chowdhury was a son of a zamindar from Tangail District's Delduar.[1] Chowdhury married Tohurunessa, the daughter of Shobdel Ali, zamindar of Bogra.[1] Due to the premature death of Tohurunessa's only brother, Chowdhury became the zamindar of Bogra.[1]
On 20 March 1894, Chowdhury was conferred the title of Nawab by the British Raj for his beneficent contributions to society.[1]
Chowdhury purchased a 3.75 acre property on the bank of Karatoya River from one Abot, a British indigo industrialist.[1]
Chowdhury was one of the founding directors of Bogra Coronation Institution established on 1 February 1912.[2]
