Parentage
Sarwar was born to Haji Mohammad Tokan Ali, second of eight sons of Haji Pir Boksh of a village Nakalia, of Bera, Pabna. His father, as was commonly known as Tokan Haji, completed his schooling in the village school in the 1930s and went off to Koltaka for his graduation. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to start a business of buying agricultural produce from Nakalia and shipping to various parts of undivided India.

Surviving the riots of 1940s in Kolkata he decided to move to the safety of Chittagong, the port and business hub of East Bengal after the 1947 Partition of India.
