Khawaja Nazimuddin, born in Dhaka, is known for being one of the most influential politicians in the history of East Bengal and Pakistan. Even though he hailed from the aristocratic Nawab family of East Bengal, this famous leader was considered by many as the epitome of humility. Having received his education from prestigious institutions in India and England, he harboured a mix of Indian and Western principles. This man is revered to this day by people, because of his integrity, gentle temperament, and sense of commitment towards the good of the nation. This exceptional politician served in posts of high standing, on several occasions, before and after the formation of Pakistan. He was the ‘Education Minister’ as well as the ‘Chief Minister’ of Bengal before the partition of India-Pakistan, and had headed the ‘Muslim League’ for many years. The reforms and measures introduced by him during his term highly benefitted the Muslim population of India. Later, after Pakistan separated from India, he went on to become the Governor-general of the former, finally taking over the post of the country’s Prime Minister. This well-known national leader was a political stalwart during his time, but because of his orthodox ways, was not always popular with the masses. As homage, districts and roads in Pakistan have been named after this passionate leader
