Realizing that there must be something terribly wrong with the society we live in, this inspired him to commit himself and his dream is the total eradication of poverty from the world.

Radwan has spent time in the field with the various livelihood promotion programs in South Asia. During his years of association he concentrated on the study of the direct economic management role of government. Driven by a passion for social impact, he has worked for social policy, immigration, and refugee integration.

Although he have been blessed to have distinguished academic careers, his most challenging and fulfilling mission to date is the total eradication of poverty from the world and educating and leading Asian Americans (AsAm) in exercising their right to vote in a cohesive bloc fashion to bring about the democratic changes they wish to see. He’s dedicated to the unfinished work of “Equal Opportunity and Justice for All”. The deprivation of equal opportunity and rights to any ethnic or minority group saps this great nation of ours with maximum potential.

His Views Mr. Chowdhury identifies himself as a 'centrist' even though his political ties can be intertwined with being liberal, conservative, and/or moderate. He does not want to be devoted to any one type of ideology as he believes that, “It’s part of every ones responsibility, which is not to pick sides but to explain what we think is happening on the ground. I can’t say, ‘This is my team, and I am going to root for them no matter what they do.’”

We may never be able to agree on some things, but let us all agree to some terms such as hatred towards Muslims, Jews, Christians, atheists, and others. Let’s agree not to use inflammatory language. Let’s agree to call out and condemn those who incite riots even if it is an imam who orders the death of a cartoonist or the preacher who wants to burn the Quran.

He is a multi-lingual in English, Bangla, Hindi, and Urdu fluently with knowledge of Punjabi, Guzrati, Tamil, Greek and Chinese. read more @ www.RadwanChowdhury.info
