The Great Pakistanis.
So here I go, out of patriotism
, I have decided to write names of great Pakistanis(of all fields, that I know) and their achievements/life history. Despite of many millions of problems Pakistan is an extra-ordinary place. From Sky high mountains to deep down Oceans, from -50 C degree to +50 C Degrees, from illiteracy to Nobel prize and from nowhere to going Nuclear, it all sounds amazing…
The main reason of doing so is to commemorate them and also many people of Pakistan don’t even know names of many of great people from Pakistan, especially scientists and writers, so I want all to know about them also. This list will continue growing over time.
So to start from, here is the initial list,
1. The Quaid-e-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah – Politics, Law, Statesman ship, Father of Nation
2. Allama Muhammad Iqbal – Poet, Thinker [Tough he died before Pakistan]
3. Liaqat Ali Khan – Politics, Movement of Pakistan
4. Prof. Dr. Abdus Salam – Physics, Nobel Prize in physics
5. Prof. Dr. Salimuzzaman Siddiqui – Chemistry
6. Prof. Dr. Rafi Muhammad Chaudhry – Physics
7. Allama Mashriqi (Inayatullah Khan) – Mathematics, Movement of Pakistan, Khaksar Tehreek
8. Abdul Sattar Edhi – Social Welfare
9. Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Poetry, writing, philosophy
10. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto – Poltics, Former Prime Minister and President of Pakistan
11. Ahmed Shah Pitras Bokhari – Humorous Writing, Literature
12. Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan – Metallurgist, Father of Nuclear Program for Pakistan
13. Sir. Zafar Ullah Khan – Law, International Relations etc..
14. Shoaib Mansoor – Television Programming/Filming
15. Sadquain – Art, Calligraphy, Painting
16. Imran Khan – Cricket, Social Work
17. Jehangir khan – Squash
18. Jan Sher Khan – Squash
19. Noor Jahan – Singing
20. Mumtaz Mufti – Literature, Fiction, Sufism
21. Bano Qudsia – Literature, Fiction, Sufism
22. Prof. Dr. Atta Ur Rehman – Chemistry, Higher Education
23. Wasim Akram – Cricket
24. Ibn-e-Insha – Urdu Literature
25. Javed Miandad – Cricket
26. Ashfaq Ahmed – Literature
27. Shaqiue-Ur-Rehman – Humorous Ficiton
28. Gul Jee – Painter
29. Obaidullah Baid – Scholar, Novelist
30. Jameeluddin Aali – Scholar, Poet, Writer
31. Mohammad Taqi Usmani – Islamic Scholar, Shariah Law

You mentioned Bano Qudsia but you didnt mention Ashfaq Ahmed !!! now thats a blunder
Also I think Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan should also be in the list.
And if we look on the religious side we have many saints as reformer of the Pakistanis on religious side
Hazrat Ali bin Usman Hajweri (popularly known as Data Sahab)
Moulana Ahmed Ali Lahori
Hazrat Sachal Sarmast

Assalam-o-Alaikum,
Dear Brothe, You have place Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan at number 12, which is quiet unjust and unfair. I think he should be placed at number. Because no nation can survive with defence and this is because of him that Muslim Umma’ respects us as first Islamic Nuclear Power. Check it please and give him his right place because the nations who dont regard their hero’s can’t survive for long.
Thanks & Regards

Nice idea, Atleast this’ll help us to think something positive within us, because as a nation we always discuss negative things about ourselves.

wonderful effort my friend.
Please do two things:
a) Mention the names subject/field wise like politics, sports, medicine, etc.
b) Remove rankings to avoid subjectivities.
I think other friends have suggested good names and we can include that too
Good Luck:-)
