Rahman was born in 1967 in the erstwhile east Pakistan to former prime minister Khaleda Zia and Ziaur Rahman, an army commander.
He was briefly detained as a child during the 1971 liberation war and was hailed as "one of the youngest prisoners of war" by the party. He briefly studied international relations at Dhaka University before entering politics at the age of 23.
Tarique's father Ziaur Rahman gained influence after the 1975 coup in which Hasina's father and country's founding leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was murdered. Ziaur Rahman was assassinated in 1981 when his son was 15.
Later, Khaleda Zia went on to become the country's first female prime minister, alternating her terms in power with Hasina.
