Sir Mian Fazl-i-Husain was born in Sialkot and was one of the most Influential politicians in the United Punjab and a founding member of Unionist Party (Punjab). He is credited with having been the main engineer of the scheme to establish employment quotas for Muslims in the Indian civil service. He practised barristary at Sialkot; during 1905-1920 practised at the bar of the Punjab Chief Court and Punjab High Court. He served as minister for education, health and local government, Punjab from 1921-1925. He was the substitute delegate for India to the assembly of the League of Nations in 1927. He became officiating member of the governor-general executive council, department of education, health and lands in 1929. Fazl i Husain was one of the founders of the old Punjab Unionist Party, and was opposed to Jinnah’s vision of an Independent Pakistan. In fact, when he was nominated to the central government of the British Raj, he allowed a Hindu, Chaudhry Sir Chhotu Ram, to take over the leadership of the Punjab Unionist Party to empasize the importance of communal harmony. Sir Fazl i Husain was a member of the legislative assembly of Punjab prior to the Montagu-Chelmsford reforms. In 1930 he was appointed a member of the Viceroy’s Council for India. He was knighted in 1926 and appointed a KCSI in 1932. After his death, Fazl i Husain’s son Mian Azim Husain wrote this biography of him “Fazl i Husain, A Political Biography”

Tariq Rahman’s autobiography can be enjoyed for its accessible and humorous style of writing. It reads like a story of a certain sub-culture of Pakistani society which touches upon lived life in the armed forces and universities of the country. It also touches upon life in other countries and some of the world’s top universities: University of California, Berkeley, Cambridge, Oxford and Heidelberg. It is also of interest for both social and academic historians since they can cross check certain accounts of trends, fashions and attitudes in different walks of life in Pakistan and abroad. It provides valuable insights into the way universities functioned and how research was done in Pakistan between the 1980s till 2024. The author’s way of functioning may not be the typical way in which most academics functioned but still it provides some understanding of the processes of conducting research, publishing and teaching. It is relevant to mention that there is paucity of biographical accounts of academics in Pakistan. This autobiography, therefore, is an attempt to fill in this gap in biographical literature.
