Once Karachi University
comprised such clued-up and inspiring teachers in journalism as
Professor Shariful Mujahid, Inam ur Rahman, Dr Sajid Zakaria and Mr
Mohsin Ali, in the visiting faculty, who were not only assets for the
university but were trend-setters of positive thinking and practice in
journalism. Like teacher like student, Shahida Kazi, a KU student of
journalism turned pioneer of a woman reporter with an illustrious
background in media and a teacher and mentor of students in journalism,
is still at work as a source of inspiration to media students and young
professionals alike.
Among KU’s cherished assets are such noble and humble men of letters as Abul Khair Kashfi, Asif Noorani, Aslam Farrukhi, Farman Fatehpuri, Ghulam Mustafa Khan, Ibn-e-Insha, Muhammad Ali Siddiqui, Imran Nazar Hosein, Jameel Jalibi, Jamiluddin Aali, Manzoor Ahmad, Moinuddin Aqeel and others. While Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, and Prof Dr Atta ur Rahman need no introduction as KU alumni being instrumental in Pakistan’s nuclear capability and higher education reforms respectively, Dr Khalida Ghous, Justice Saeed-uz-Zaman Siddiqi and Mr Muhammad Taqi Usmani are KU alumni of credibility in human rights, law and jurisprudence respectively. Remembering late Dr Mrs Khursheed Haider, late Dr Abdul Qadeer and late Dr Mujtaba Rizvi as KU’s distinguished faculty in international relations, one recalls of the same department the legendary Professor Dr Ehsan Chaudhry and Professor Shamim Akhtar. KU’s faculty in economics range from the academic excellence and research acumen of late Dr Ehsan Rasheed to the national and international credibility of Dr Shahida Wizarat.
Pakistan’s universities, whether it is Bahauddin Zakaria University, Multan; Islamia University Bahawalpur; Gomal University D I Khan; Punjab University, Balochistan University, Peshawar University, or for that matter, our medical and engineering colleges and others, quietly have such illustrious but humble alumni that need to be discovered as trend-setters for the youth. It is where discovering is the key to cherishing and benefiting from what may be called a reservoir of national strength.
