Aadab From across the Border Continues.....by jalandhari 10/8/2008 6:27:00 PM
Last month we wrote about the beautiful memories of Mr. Sarwar. In response we have received another touching letter from someone who is trying to find more about his ancestral place. Here is the letter :
"Salam,
My mother lived in pre-partition Jalandar and was daughter of (Dr) Sheikh Abul Fazal, Vce Chancelor Kapurthala University ( was also a Master Freemason ); they lived in Haveli Danishmandan in Jalandar. My mammon's names are Abul Faizi , Abul Fida ( had a limped foot - very marked and walked with a stick )- one brother Abul Arshad ( who lost his mantal balance and in depression left the house and was never found ever again - though he managed to study till his Masters but failed to obtain the degree ) and only living now is Abul Nasr ( before partition went to Italy and France and at the time of Partition was in Kabul - presently lives in Lahore).
I recall my late mother talking about visiting Raja's Sahib's Mahal on occasions ( commuting in covered tongas and escorted by their brothers and " Munshi Sahib" ) ;
My Nana Sh Abul Fazal had received many medals, decorations ( from Freemasons ) and awards by the societies being a PhD and spoke 7 languages; I have passed on severral of his medals and decorations - which I shall pass on to next generation to keep ... and cherish
I wonder if the writer of the subject mentioned letter recalls these people and could tell me more about them ...
Kind regards
Qurat ul Ain"
