The Life Long Contributions of Ghulamuddin Ghulam (1924-2020)

Abstract

“Master Ghulamuddin, as he was popularly known, was not only a teacher. He was a reformer. In early 1940s, when no one in the village could read or write he had learnt to read and write. He put his this skill entirely at the service of the community. Look at the hats he wore, Khalifa, Wa’iz, social activist, community leader, architect and teacher. This made him stand as a figure totally unparalleled in the village. Every individual and family looked unto him for guidance and advice. He was still young at that time and winning the support of leaders of local tribes was not easy. But he was blessed with the art to win their support, primarily, due to his sincerity and selflessness.”
