Allama Mashriqi (Inayatullah Khan) was born on August 25, 1888 and died in Lahore, Pakistan on August 27, 1963. He was born into a very well respected and financially strong family. His ancestors held prominent positions during the Mughal Empire. He was a genius and broke records at Punjab University in Pakistan and Cambridge University in England. In 1930, Mashriqi laid the foundation for the Khaksar Tehrik. The Tehrik spread throughout India in a very short span of time. His followers and supporters came from all walks of life and numbered in the millions. Mashriqi played a vital role in Indian politics and directed the nation towards freedom. Mashriqi was a simple, straightforward person. He devoted his life to serving the people, particularly the downtrodden. He denounced and demolished the wall between the privileged and the unprivileged. He made himself a part of the people and made every man accessible to him without any reservation. Mashriqi was pure and noble and disliked personal glorification. Though highly educated and politically strong, Mashriqi had no hunger for power and served the nation with no personal gains in mind. He abandoned the life of luxury because he considered it unethical and illogical to pursue a life of luxury when his own people were living in poverty. Pakistan has yet to see a man like Mashriqi, who sacrificed everything for the nation. It was because of this devotion that he earned the respect of millions.
