Masood Khadarpoosh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Masood Khadarposh as Deputy Commissioner, Nawabshah (Sindh)

Masood Khaddarposh (Urdu مسعود کھدر پوش ) (1916-1985) born on 25 June 1916 in Lahore was a very famous yet simple bureaucrat,[1] Pakistan Movement activist, Agricultural reformist, Punjabi language promoter. Masood joined the Indian Civil Service in 1941 and retired in 1972 in Pakistan.[2] He is still remembered as one of the pioneers of agricultural reforms in Pakistan and was a role model for young civil servants due to his uprightness. He was appointed in Sindh.[3][4] He always wore Khadar – a local simple cotton cloth; consequently, Fatima Jinnah gave him the name Khadar posh, which means a person wearing Khadar.[5]

Pakistan Movement[]

Masood was transferred to Nawabshah as Deputy Commissioner in 1946. [6] His role in the independence struggle was greatly acknowledged when he accompanied Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah to Quetta and eventually persuaded the tribal chiefs and the people of Baluchistan to join in with the creation of Pakistan. In 1947, at the time of partition, M. Masud opted for Pakistan and continued at the same post in Nawabshah district of Sindh.[7] Later, he served as deputy commissioner in Muzaffargarh and in board of Revenue, Punjab government, Pakistan.

Sindh Hari Committee Report[]

Before 1947, the Sindh government formed a committee, with Sir Roger Thomas as its chairman.[8] Other members included Noordeen Siddique, Masood Khadarposh and Agha Shahi was secretary of committee. Because Masood Khadarpoosh considered the report to be misleading and did not agree with the contents, he wrote a disagreement note. Due to his note and pressure from public, the Pakistan government made land reforms.[9]
