Rashid Minhas

Pilot Officer Rashid Minhas NH, was a military officer in the Pakistan Air Force. Minhas was the only PAF officer to receive the highest valour award, the Nishan-e-Haider. He was also the youngest person and the shortest-serving officer to have received this award.

On 20 August of that year, in the hour before noon, he was getting ready to take off in a T-33 jet trainer in Karachi, Pakistan. His second solo flight in that type of aircraft. Minhas was taxiing toward the runway when a Bengali instructor pilot, Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman, signalled him to stop and then climbed into the instructor's seat. The jet took off and turned toward India.

Minhas radioed PAF Base Masroor with the message that he was being hijacked. The air controller requested that he resend his message, and he confirmed the hijacking. Later investigation showed that Rahman intended to defect to India to join his compatriots in the Bangladesh Liberation War, along with the jet trainer. In the air, Minhas struggled physically to wrest control from Rahman; each man tried to overpower the other through the mechanically linked flight controls. Some 32 miles (51 km) from the Indian border, the jet crashed near Thatta. Both men were killed.[9]

Correct me if I'm wrong but his ancestors hail from Qila Ahmadabad in Punjab Pakistan. His family moved from there to Karachi, then to Lahore, then to Pindi and then back to Karachi. Don't think they migrated from India to Pakistan.

Corrections for the minister. Orient Airways was a publicly traded private company and not owned by Mr. Ispahani. It was also not gifted to anyone by him since he could not. It was nationalised (through compensation) and merged with PIAC.

Furthermore, The Roosevelt Hotel never had anything to do with Mr. Ispahani, let alone being his gift to Pakistan. PIA leased the hotel in 1979 with an option to buy after 20 years. This option was exercised in 1999. The original deal had some private Saudi investment which was also paid off by PIA in 2005 bringing PIA's share in the hotel to 99%.

I have no idea where the minister is getting his information from.

That is a question for another mod. I'd advise raising it at GHQ. Apart from that, please feel free to post about any and all people who migrated to Pakistan, from whichever direction.

Asalam Alikum,

The thread of title says it all - You are here to LEARN about the SACRIFICES and CONTRIBUTION of Urdu Speakers and other Migrants (Memon, Gujrati etc) towards PAKISTAN.

Despite being ONLY 8%-10% of whole Pakistani population, the GIGANTIC efforts, sweat and blood was given by Migrants at EVERY need of the hour, UNQUESTIONED.

May be that's why Karachi and Urdu speakers are always taken for granted...Well, that's another topic.

I am honored to be the first guy to start this kind of thread. Being from Karachi myself, I take ABSOLUTE pride of being part of such civilized and educated community who can also actually FIGHT, if need arises, against all odds. There's always a fighting and daring instinct in our blood....We are the SURVIVORS and WINNERS - made this country, traveled all way long, settled in Karachi and urban areas of Sindh and turned them into such a heaven that every other ethnicity left speechless and stunned.

As of now, we are probably in our worst phase but guess what, good times will come and this SHALL too pass, Insha Allah

So, you guys can definitely take part in this thread and can discuss and talk and post all personalities from migrants/Urdu Speaking background who did some for Pakistan.

For me, I will start from him - the most respected ; Mr. Edhi

Born: February 28, 1928, Bantva, India
Died: July 8, 2016, Karachi

Abdul Sattar Edhi was a Pakistani philanthropist, ascetic, and humanitarian who founded the Edhi Foundation, which runs the world's largest volunteer ambulance network, along with various homeless shelters, animal shelters, rehabilitation centres, and orphanages across Pakistan.

He died on 8 July 2016 at the age of 88 due to complete kidney failure after having been placed on a ventilator. One of his last wishes was that his organs be donated for the use of the needy but due to his poor health, only his corneas were suitable for later use in donation. He was laid to rest at Edhi Village in Karachi.

Don't forget this guy , who finance State Bank of Pakistan and pay the salaries of govt employees from his personal account ...Later how local greedy politicians treated him ..

Why are you being spoil sport? The thread is about self masturbating, blowing own trumpets, walking around with expanded chests while looking down at the 95% ignorant, uncouth majority of Pakistan who should be at their feet.

That is clearly not the intention of the OP or this thread.

it is demeaning. like indian muslims trying to appease the fascists of their patriotism.

I can see that. However, I believe this thread's and OP's intention is to silence those who, in their utter ignorance, deny the immeasurable services rendered by migrants to their country.

Nobody should be forced to pillage the deeds of the dead for livelihood or dignity of human existence.

Isphani family also donated there building in Washinton DC , now its Pakistan embassy .

View attachment 664760

That building in the picture was built and then inaugurated in 2011. From 1951 till 2011 the embassy was located at the Francis B. Moran House which was also not owned by the Ispahani Family.

It might be the building which is the Pakistani Ambassador's official residence in Washington.

Strange..Are you sure? Below tweet says it was though jointly owned but Mr. Ispahani was one of the member.

But he did offer his airline to Pakistan for national usage, didn't he?

Regarding hotel, can you quote some references?

Correct me if I'm wrong but his ancestors hail from Qila Ahmadabad in Punjab Pakistan. His family moved from there to Karachi, then to Lahore, then to Pindi and then back to Karachi. Don't think they migrated from India to Pakistan.

Actually, I initially had a different title of thread "Contributions of Migrants and Urdu Speakers for Pakistan" but later it got changed by one Mod into current title. I intend to share of both - Migrants and their off springs as well

Educated at Delhi University, Zia saw action in World War II as a British Indian Army officer in Burma and Malaya, before opting for Pakistan in 1947 and fighting as a tank commander in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965. In 1970, he led a military training mission to Jordan, proving instrumental to defeating the Black September insurgency against King Hussein.[2] In recognition, Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto appointed Zia Chief of Army Staff in 1976.[3] Following civil disorder, Zia deposed Bhutto in a military coup and declared martial law on 5 July 1977.[4] Bhutto was controversially tried by the Supreme Court and executed less than two years later, for allegedly authorising the murder of Nawab Muhammad Ahmed Khan Kasuri, a political opponent.[5]

Assuming the presidency in 1978, Zia played a major role in the Soviet–Afghan War. Backed by the United States and Saudi Arabia, Zia systematically coordinated the Afghan mujahideen against the Soviet occupation throughout the 1980s.[6][7] This culminated in the Soviet Union's withdrawal in 1989, but also led to the proliferation of millions of refugees, with heroin and weaponry into Pakistan's frontier province. On the foreign front, Zia also bolstered ties with China and the United States, and emphasised Pakistan's role in the Islamic world, while relations with India worsened amid the Siachen conflict and accusations that Pakistan was aiding the Khalistan movement. Domestically, Zia passed broad-ranging legislation as part of Pakistan's Islamization, curbed civil liberties, and heightened press censorship.[8] He also escalated Pakistan's atomic bomb project, and instituted industrialisation and deregulation, helping Pakistan's economy become the fastest-growing in South Asia.[9] Averaged over Zia's rule, GDP growth was the highest in the country's history.[10]

After lifting martial law and holding non-partisan elections in 1985, Zia appointed Muhammad Khan Junejo Prime Minister but accumulated more presidential powers via the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution.[11] After Junejo signed the Geneva Accords in 1988 against Zia's wishes, and called for an inquiry into the Ojhri Camp disaster, Zia dismissed Junejo's government and announced fresh elections in November 1988. He was killed along with several of his top military officials and two American diplomats in a mysterious plane crash near Bahawalpur on 17 August 1988. To this day, Zia remains a polarising figure in Pakistan's history, credited for preventing wider Soviet incursions into the region as well as economic prosperity, but decried for weakening democratic institutions and passing laws encouraging religious intolerance.[12][13] He is also cited for promoting the early political career of Nawaz Sharif, who would be thrice elected Prime Minister.[14][15]
