Bahadar Yar Jang, by birth a Pathan, was born in Hyderabad Deccan (India) in 1905, His father, Nawab Naseer Yar Jang, was a wealthy land owner. He brought up his son with utmost care and provided him with all sorts of luxuries. It seems strange that a child brought up among luxuries and comforts; an environment where wealth was considered a mark of respect, would grow up from totally different ideas. He was an individual who rejected the so-called standards of life of him time and developed in himself love for Islam and his fellow-men. He had a strong desire to help the Muslims of India and wanted to pull them out of their miserable plight under the British rule. He was a God fearing person and had great love for humanity.

At the age of twenty he started participating in social activities and spent most of his time in doing social work. He had a desire to acquire knowledge about Muslims and the Muslim countries.

In this pursuit to understand Islam he paid visits to the Muslim countries. In the light of his experience that he gained from his visits to these Muslim countries he began to build his own principles and set his own ideals. He meditated on the chances of the Muslim being free from the slavery of the British. He hated to see the Muslims being treated as second class citizen during British Raj. Though himself an aristocrat, Bahadar Yar Jang hated aristocracy.

The aristocrats of Hydeabad Deccan were not pleased with him due to his beliefs and ideals. They opposed him and tried to obstruct his path. But this opposition only enhanced his struggle for freedom. He was an ardent advocate of Muslim Unity. He proved himself to be a true Muslim who strictly followed the principles and spirit of Islam.

Bahadar Yar Jang spread the message of freedom through the Pakistan Movement launched by the All India Muslim League. He was not only a man of words but deeds as well. Friends and foes laid obstacles in his way. The Nizam (governor) of Hyderabad punished him by depriving him of his heritage and by taking back his title. He was imprisoned but he refused to give up the mission of his life. He was steadfast in his beliefs. He respects Quaid-e-Azam immensely and considered him as the only man who could achieve Pakistan due to his sheer determination. Bahadar Yar Jang never hesitated to do what he considered right for the Muslims of India. Clever, as the British were, the visualised his intelligence and ability and offered him a job. All he said was:

"I was not made to sit on an official seat and look after the affairs of the state. The aim of my life is to go on streets and raise storms in the heats of men"

Bahadar Yar Jang was an excellent orator. In his speeches on the creation of Pakistan he spoke with the vigour of an erupting volcano. He lectures on Seerat-un-Nabi were like following waters.

On the 26^th of December, 1943, he delivered a beautiful speech in the All India Muslim League Conference. In the first half of his speech he laid stress on the struggle for Pakistan. In the second half he talked about the creation of Pakistan.

At the end he said,

"Muslims! Decisions made under pressure do not last for long. To-day we are not in need of a tree that blooms like a flower or in need of fruit that tastes sweet to our mouths. Instead, we are in the need of fine manure that dissolves in the soil and strengthens the roots. That will unite with the water and soil to produce beautiful flowers. That will destroy itself but will leave its scent and taste in the flowers. We are at present not in need of beautiful scenery that looks good to the eyes, but what we need are foundation stones that will bury themselves in the soil to make the building standing on them strong."

This great speech could be delivered only by a great man like Bahadar Yar Jang. Pakistan as created by the efforts of many like Bahadar Yar Jung.
