Hasan Nasir belonged to
Hyderabad (Deccan) and had fought, along with
Makhdoom Mohiuddin and others, in the
Telangana armed struggle. He was a maternal grandson of Nawab
Mohsin-ul-Mulk. After the
independence of
Pakistan in 1947, he migrated to Pakistan and soon became, to the new ruling classes of the country, one of the most feared communists in Pakistan. Thus, despite being the scion of an aristocratic family of Hyderabad, Deccan,
[3] he had taken up the cause of the oppressed. He was arrested in 1960, put in a cell in the
Lahore Fort and brutally tortured till he died.
