A CSS cleared 20th grade officer, a principal, a teacher, a poet, a mentor and an exemplary human being. Isn't it surprising that a man who started 7 colleges in interior sindh, each costing around Rs. 6 million traveled on a motorcycle? He is known for his simplicity, honesty and philanthropy. He had setup educational centers benefiting thousands. Apart from looking after educational wings of around 5 welfare organizations, he was overseeing numerous charity organizations and orphanages. He received an Honorary award from Harvard University. Instead of spending on himself and his family he chose to use his money to help people. He ran a school in Tando Adam where Muslim and Hindus studied for free! He was a poet, an intellectual, principal in a college and the best marsiya khuwan ever. He was shot down brutally when he was returning from his college on his bike.
