Was insulted in Pakistan, got respect in AMU, this professor’s story is interesting

A priceless heritage is kept in the Maulana Azad Library of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), which is a symbol of the scientific pride not only of the university but of the entire India. This is the Nobel Prize of Pakistan’s first Nobel Prize winner, Professor Abdus Salam. His award is still preserved in the library of AMU and is playing an important role in enhancing the reputation of the university at the international level.

Insult in Pakistan and respect in AMU
The story of Professor Abdus Salam is full of extraordinary achievements in the field of science, but a sad aspect of his life is that he had to become a victim of religious discrimination in his own country Pakistan. After being awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1979, he shared this award for his research “Electroweak Theory”, which not only brought glory to Pakistan.

Rather, he became recognized in the world of science. However, after the Ahmadiyya community was declared non-Muslim in Pakistan, Professor Salam was not only isolated from the society, but his achievements were also ignored. As a result he was forced to leave the country.

AMU’s guest of honor

After being humiliated in his country, Professor Salam got the respect at Aligarh Muslim University in India which he probably never got in his own country. AMU not only gave him lifetime union membership, but also awarded him an honorary doctorate. Along with this, Prof. Salam donated his Nobel Prize to AMU in 1979, which is still preserved in the Maulana Azad Library of the university. This award has now become a priceless heritage of AMU. Which not only enhances the pride of the university but also shows the dedication of the university towards science and research.

Preserved heritage in Maulana Azad Library
Professor Salam’s Nobel Prize is kept as a rare heritage in the Maulana Azad Library of AMU. This library remains a source of inspiration not only for Indian scholars but also for researchers and scientists at the international level. This library of AMU is famous for its international recognition and heritage.

Statement of former public relations officer

Professor Rahat Abrar, former public relations officer of AMU, says that Professor Salam was honored at a time when AMU was struggling with various student movements and political pressures. Nevertheless, the students and management of the university recognized his contributions and gave him true scientific respect.

Welcoming other Nobel laureates

Apart from Professor Salam, AMU has also welcomed other Nobel laureates from time to time. Prominent personalities like the Dalai Lama have also shared their views on the platform of AMU and were equally honoured.

Professor Salaam’s legacy
The story of Professor Abdus Salam is a story of struggle and success, which symbolizes not only facing religious and social discrimination but also making extraordinary contributions to science. His honor at AMU shows that true talent and scientific achievements can never be limited by limits or discrimination. His Nobel Prize is still safe in the library of AMU and it will remain a source of inspiration for the coming generations.
