Early life

Born in an influential family to Shri S.M. Quuamruddin in Makhdumpur, near Jehanabad in Bihar, British India. The family lost everything in the pre-partition riots, that forced them to move to the northern region of Motihari in East Champaran, Bihar. An avid learner, the obstacles and dearth of financial resources didn’t stop him to secure the grades for admission in higher education in Law. He continued his practice while also teaching part time to support the family. Subsequently with time, and driven by the desire to make his contribution to the society, he joined politics with principles in Socialism.[3] He is survived by his five children and grandkids, most of whom divide their time between New Delhi and Bihar.
