Early life and career
Abu Bakr Ahmed Haleem was born in 1897 in Irki village in Bihar, British Indian Empire (now in India).[citation needed] From the Patna University he gained Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees in political science.[1] He attended the University of Oxford in England where he gained a Doctor of Philosophy degree in political science and was called at Lincoln's Inn as Bar-at-law.[2] Upon returning to Indiain 1923, Haleem accepted a professorship in history at the Aligarh Muslim University.[citation needed] In 1944, he joined the Muslim League and took active participation in Pakistan Movement. At one point he reportedly told Muhammad Ali Jinnah: "Mr. Jinnah, we are teaching history and you are making it."[3] In support of Jinnah, the AMU was also closed on 3 November 1941.[4] The University Muslim League also formed a writers committee under Haleem which produced articles and pamphlets on Pakistan.[4]
After the establishment of Pakistan in 1947, Haleem was appointed the first Vice-Chancellor of Sindh University at the behest of Jinnah and in 1951 he gained that post at Karachi University.[3]
In 1970, he became chairman of Pakistan Institute of International Affairs (PIIA) which he chaired until 1974. In 1975, he once returned to Karachi University to teach political science and stayed there until his death on 20 April 1975.[1]
