Dr. Abdul Salam The First Islamic Noble Laurete
"When I was at school in about 1936 I remember the teacher giving us a lecture on the basic forces in Nature. He began with gravity. Of course, we had all heard of gravity. Then he went on to say “Electricity. Now there is a force called electricity, but it doesn’t live in our town Jhang, it lives in the capital town of Lahore, 100 miles to the east”. He had just heard of the nuclear force and he said: “that only exists in Europe”. This is to demonstrate what it was like to be taught in a developing country".
On Jan 29, 1926, Chaudhry Muhammad Hussein and Bibi Hajira Hussien had a baby boy at their two-bedroom abode in Jhang.
They named him Abdus Salam — ‘servant of peace’
Right from the start, Salam was deeply invested in his academic growth. At 14, he scored record-breaking marks in Punjab University's matriculation entrance exams. I remember returning home around 2 p.m. in the afternoon on my bicycle from Maghiana to Jhang city. The news of my standing first in the exam had already reached Jhang city.
"I had to pass through Police Gate district of Jhang city to reach my home in Buland Darwaza.
I distinctly recall that those Hindu merchants who normally would have closed their shops due to afternoon heat, were standing outside their shops to pay homage to me. Their respect for me and their patronage of education has left an indelible impression on my mind"
In Mathematics, Salam published his first paper in 1943. It was titled, "A problem of Ramanujan". He graduated next year with jaw-dropping scores: 300 out of 300 marks in Mathematics, 121 out of 150 in English Honours. He stood first at his university, breaking all records in the B.A examinations. As a result of Salam’s high scores, he secured a scholarship for further studying mathematics at Cambridge University’s prestigious St John’s College
His Life and Achievements:
- 1946 Dr. Abdul Salam Got Scholarship in Cambridge.
- In 1955, Salam had his first brush with the UN as a scientific secretary at the first 'Atoms for Peace' conference.
- 1979 Won the noble prize
