Malbari Hotel....An Old Man's Day dreams-6

An Unexpected Treat.....

by Abdul Sattar Lakhana

It was a Saturday and we had gathered at malbari hotel as usual. The weather was good that day so the tasted better than usual. All of a sudden Siddique master started calling someone loudly…. “Ibrahim. Ibrahim …!!”. We all turned back and there was Ibrahim our common old friend but he was doing his own business and was doing well.

Ibrahim turned towards us saw all four of us and came to shake hands with us.

We offered him tea but he declined politely as he had was in a hurry  instead he said to meet us the next morning over the breakfast, he would be free and relaxing as it was Sunday. I asked him weather we should come to his banglow or should we meet at some other place.His banglow was in Defence and no bus went there so we were hesitating a bit. Luckily he himself said that he would come to a nearby nihari hotel which serves tasty nihari and this treat was to be from Ibrahim. We were happy by this generous offer and decided to be at our spot at nine in the morning to have nihari.

We all were at the hotel a few minutes ahead of the fixed time but Ibrahim was no where to be seen. We were feeling sorry for ourselves that a chance of free breakfast was gone, and as we all came there without breakfast in our homes. We were thinking about going to the home of some other friend to have breakfast,but all of a sudden Ibrahim appeared from no where Ghaffar kapadia was first to see him coming.All four of us were happy as a child having an unexpected ice-cream.With lots of hellos and how are you? we walked towards the famous nihari hotel nearby.

Ibrahim led us towards the family cabins and we settled down there. Ibrahim called the waiter and silently passed twenty rupees note into his hand.

Yakoob Kiria could not remain silent he spoke Ibrahim bhai “why did you pay him twenty?”Ibrahim said that this was the trick to get best service in such hotels besides the waiter will make errors in the bills favoring us.We did not know about such tricks as we hardly visited hotels except the malbari hotel.

Ibrahim ordered a special nihari with maghaz (brain) and extra butter and tanduri roties.We were served extra quantities of chopped ginger, chopped green chillies and large pieces of lemons.

We started eating it wsa so tasty that we were eating like this was our last meal.No wonder it had gained that fame I thought. Ibrahim was in very good mood so he asked about tea or cold drink. I said whatever you like.

Ibrahim said that he usually took lassi after eating nihari. He called the waiter and ordered him to bring 5 lassies the waiter said that lassi was not served in the hotel but Ibrahim insisted and asked the waiter to fetch lassi from the near by shop and the waiter obliged.The 20rs were at work.

After a few minutes lassi arrived and as we were sipping slowly Ibrahim again called the waiter and ordered him to bring paan for all of us.We had breakfast in a very good mood and environment remembering our old days. It was a very unusual and wonderful sunday morning out.

We all thanked Ibrahim for this wonderful treat and we all started walking towards our malbari hotel ad Ibrahim walked on towards his car he had parked in a nearby street.

Siddique master was the first to speak he was so impressed by Ibrahim's gesture that he told that this was the game of money if we had that much to spend on a breakfast we could invite Ibrahim or persons like him to breakfast or lunch anytime.

I get only half cooked roties of my old lady served with lots of good sayings on subjects like saving money and wearing my clothes for three days instead of two days to save soap.

I could not keep mum i told that had our parents had allowed us to get more education and not insisted on getting jobs and that too the low paying jobs we would have been in much better state than we are now.

kiria who was listening jumped into discussion he reffering to his father said that his father was so Hitler like that he simply told that no earnings no meals.

We kept talking about the topic for a while but the sun was getting higher and there was no shed at the malbari hotel. We daily sat at the hotel in the evening and were not bothered by the sun we had to get up and our little gathering ended and we walked towards our homes

Legends-Ebrahim Bawani

The Bawani family is one of the renowned families of Jetpur. The Adamjees are also one of the main branches of the Bawani family. Both, Ahmed Ebrahim Bawani, father of Ebrahim, and Adamjee Haji Dawood were pioneers of industrialisation of Burma. Ahmed Bawani Violin Hosiery Works established near Rangoon in 1930 was the largest hosiery mill in Asia.

Ebrahim was born in 1926 in Rangoon. During the Second World War he migrated from Rangoon to Bombay and completed his education. With the creation of Pakistan, Ebrahim, with his brothers and uncle Lateef Bawani, migrated to Karachi. In 1948, they imported machinery and established Bawani Violin Textile Mills in Karachi. After that they purchased Talhar Sugar Mills from PIDC and within a short period of time, the Bawanis became one of the leading industrial groups of the country.

During the life time of Uncle Lateef, popularly known as 'Kaka Lateef', Ebrahim preferred to remain in the background and under the able guidance of the Kaka, gradually his character started to take shape. Eventually, he became one of the well-known Memons in the Muslim world. During the period 1954 to 1957 he was elected President of the then Pakistan Chamber of Commerce which, later on, amalgamated with three other business organisations to become Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Ebrahim was director of many companies but with rare excepfion he never accepted high position in any business Organisation. His first important assignment was founding and developing of Ayesha Bawani Academy on Shahrae Faisal, where two high schools for boys and girls were set up, and after six years a college was also set up in the same building. All these institutions, which cost the family several million rupees became renowned for their high standard of education. At the time of nationalisation in 1972 about 3,200 students were getting education in this Academy. In 1962, Maulvi Tamizuddin Khan, former Speaker of the Parliament, performed the opening ceremony of a similar Academy in Dacca. Some more schools were also started in East Pakistan due to the efforts of Kaka Bawani and Ebrahim played a key role in the establishment of Pakistan Memon Federation. Ebrahim worked on his dream child: establishment of a residential school some 80 miles away from Karachi. Having been impressed by the characterbuilding public schools of the Western world, he wanted to establish a residential school on the same pattern. A plot of land on the bank of River Indus was also acquired. The construction of the school then should have cost Rs. 2 million while the annual recurring expenses were estimated to be about Rs. 300,000. The school would have provided educational and residential facilities to 300 students. However, according to Mr. Ebrahim, his associates from the community did not support him as much as was expected.

Ebrahim became disappointed and gave up the idea for lack of co-operation. Disillusioned with the Memon community, he became more aloof from it and devoted his entire spare time, money and energy for the service of the whole Muslim millat and for the propagation of Islamic teaching. He made this his life mission. He remained mostly out of Pakistan in connection with his mission.

Ayesha Bawani Wakf was the most glorious achievement of Ebrahim Bawani which was established in 1962 by the Bawani family. Its activities spread in the entire Muslim and Christian world. It is providing aid, grants and scholarships. It is also known as a publishing Organisation of many religious books. Ebrahim did not believe in publication of traditional books and short cuts to heaven. He felt that to attract the modern, intellectual Muslims and non-Muslims towards Islam, it was necessary to converse with them in their own language and at their own intellectual level. He therefore, published books which would attract such persons towards serious study of Islam. Some of the books which became well-known include The Bible, The Quran and The Science by a French writer. The Wakf has reprinted more than a dozen editions of its English translation and distributed free copies world wide. One more important publication is The Gospel of Barnabas. Only two copies of the original Gospel remained in the world and the Wakf discovered one of these copies in the library of American Congress and printed more than 100,000 copies to distribute free of cost in the Western World. The third book is Jesus, A Prophet of Islam, by Muhammad Ataur Rahim.

During the last three decades Ayesha Bawani Wakf has published a total of 51 titles in English, Urdu, Gujrati and Sindhi languages. Nearly all books have seen more than one edition and some of them were published ten and twelve times. Hundreds of thousands of these books have been distributed free all over the world.

'Muslim News International' was one more example of the campaign carried on by this mujahid. He started this monthly magazine with the aim of providing news and views of the Muslim nations and peoples to the world.

The printing and publishing of the magazine was shifted to Karachi. The Government of Pakistan occasionally created problems which Ebrahim Bawani courageously faced, refusing co-operation. Ultimately, difficulties increased to such an extent that 'Muslim News International' ceased publication.

He was called a Mujahid because he actually went on the front lines of areas where Muslims were fighting for their independence, such as Kashmir, Philippines, and Palestine. He collected large amounts from the Arab Sheikhs to purchase arms and ammunitions required by the Muslim freedom fighters, it was on such a mission that he went to Kuala Lumpur, where he breathed his last in his hotel room. His body was brought to Karachi for burial.

History-Junagadh City

Junagadh is one of the most picturesque town in India.Dotted with historical monuments and religious places, the small town at the base of the Girnar mountain makes on interesting destination for tourists till today.


Many memons families were settled in different towns in the district of Junagadh like Bantva,Chorvad,keshod,Manavadar,Nanadiya,Una-Gujrat,Vanthali,Veraval,Visavadar.

The city of Junagdh takes its name from the fort that sourrounded it until very recently. It is said that the city was deserted from 7 A.D. to 10 A.D. and was discovered, completely swamped by the jungle. It was then named Jirndurg, meaning old city, by its discoverer Rah Grahar. Later, as the city was fortified against marauders, the name was modified and changed to Jirngadh, meaning old fort. Over the centuries, the name got polished by usage and emerged finally as Junagadh.

Various famous rulers such as the Kshatrapas, Mauryans, Chudasamas, Guptas, Vilabhis, Gujarat Sultans and Babi Nawabs have reigned in this part of the world. The architecture and rich cultural heritage of Junagadh stands as the edifice of the political and religious influences of the various rulers who have ruled the region. 

Four major religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Islam, have left a substantial influence on Junagadh. However, a stronger influence of the rulers of Junagadh was felt on the architecture of the city. During the reign of Babi Nawabs, Junagadh was the capital of the Junagadh State. 

There are many historical monuments and religious places. Foremost of the historical sights is the old fort known as Uparkot, the ancient citadel around which the fort of Junagadh was built. Although extensively renovated and extended many times during the course of its long  past its antiquarian outlook remains intact.
Among the two defensive structures, Uparkot in the west is one of the fortifications of Junagadh. Uparkot was a stronghold of Mauryans and Gupta Empire. This place is known to have survived 16 sieges in a span of 1000 years. This is courtesy to the strategic location which makes access to this place very difficult. Buddhist caves, Baba Pyara caves, Adi-Kadi Vav, Navghan Kuvo and Jami Masjid are the major sites here. The former residence of Ranakdevi was converted into the Jami Mosque by Muhammad Begada after his conquest of Junagadh in 1470. 

As we go through the history of Junagadh,it would reveal the presence of rulers who were great patrons of art and architecture. Massive beautification of Junagadh was done during the reign of Nawab Mahobat Khat II, who was one of the Babi Rulers. Under his patronage, many renowned edifices like Aina Mahal, Circle Chowk with clock tower and Dewan Chowk were built. The Maqbaras or the mausoleums of the royal family are also architectural extravaganzas of the city. Manoranjan Guest House, Bahauddin College, Mahobat Madresa are the other important buildings constructed during the Nawabi period. 


Modern Junagadh:
The foundation of the city by the Gujarat Sultanate was a new beginning for the Junagadh Fort. With strong embankments raised along the city, attractive gardens and magnificent monuments the city gained a new prestige along with a new king. The year 1818 brought the Western Rulers in the Throne of Junagadh. British East India Company took formal control of the empire except the Saurashtra area. 

The present old town was developed during the 19th and 20th centuries and it is a British Princely State in India. After the British East India Company, the Junagadh Fort came directly under the control of Independent India. Amidst protests and revolts, the Indians finally won the Junagadh Fort. The History of Junagadh, or the History of Junagadh Fort is therefore a tale of successors and who besieged the throne from time to time. The History of Junagadh Fort is therefore an interesting chapter into the life and culture of Junagadh.

Last Days of Junagadh By Abdur Razzaq Thaplawala

Sardar Valabh bhai gate Junagadh

The month of November, 1947 was a month of tragedy for newly born Pakistan as India occupied two states which had legally and formally acceded to Pakistan as part of the scheme of partition. These states are located in the present Gujrat provinces. The Junagadh State was surrounded by Indian Territory but it has a long coast line with a well developed part for easy access to Karachi. The month will be particularly remembered by the Memon community as a month in which they faced one of the worst tragedy in the community’s life time.

The community in general and the members of community from Bantva, Kutiyana and Junagadh had to abandon their birth places and migrate to Pakistan in November, 1947. It is unfortunate that the month of November, 2003 passed without anybody remembering this tragedy.

Mr. Yusuf Abdul Gani Mandvia, a bold Memon journalist of high caliber and writer of many books on pre-partition Indian Politics was present in Junagadh during the last days of the occupation of Junagadh. He had first hand information about these happenings. The following chronological account of these days is based on one of his books in Gujrati published in Karachi after he migrated to Pakistan after serving a three years imprisonment in Junagadh imposed on him by Indian occupation forces of the occupation of Junagadh. The following information is based on Mr. Mandvia’s Gujrati books publish in sixteen and the information about happenings in Bantva and Kutiyana – the home of some of big business magnets of the Memon community. This information is based on “Tarikh-e-Bantva” by Mr. Aziz Kaya.

The Junagadh government conveyed its consent to acceed to Pakistan as early as on 12th August, 1947. This decision was published in Dasturul Amal of Junagadh State on 15th August, 1947.The instrument of accession was however formally signed by Quaid-e-Azam on 15th September, 1947 and accordingly the accession was notified in Gazette of Pakistan and Dastrul Amal of Junagadh State on that date. Mr. V.P. Menon, the secretary of States department of Government of India rushed to Junagadh on 17th September, 1947 and met Mr. Shah Nawaz Bhutto, the Chief Minister of Junagadh. Mr. Memon insisted that he had brought a message of Indian Government and will like to deliver the message to Nawab Saheb only. Mr. Shah Nawaz Bhutto showed his inability to arrange a meeting with Nawab Saheb as he was not feeling well. Mr. Menon expressed his displeasure over this refusal but finally conveyed the message of Indian Government to Mr. Bhutto insisting that Junagadh should withdraw its accession to Pakistan. Mr. Bhutto told Mr. Menon that the accession was now complete and according to international law only the Government of Pakistan can talk on the subject. Mr. Menon left after the threats of dire consequences.

Mr. Menon immediately went to Bombay and called a meeting of Mr. Saamar Das Gandhi a journalist of Rajkot and his accomplices who were already present in Bombay according to a pre arranged scheme. He unfolded the scheme of Arzi Hukumat (Provisional Government) to them.

On 25th September, 1947, a meeting was held in Madhav Garden of Bombay where formal announcement of the formation of Arzee Hukumat or Provisional Government of Junagarh was made. Mr. Samal Das Gandhi was nominated as President of the Provisional Government. Mr. Saamar Das Gandhi and some of his colleagues who were declared as ministers with various portfolios took oath of their respective offices. Saamar Das Gandhi was son of Mr. Lakshami Das Karamch Gandhi brother of Mr. Mohan Das Karamchand, the father of Mahatma Gandhi. He was not a resident of Junagadh State.

Immediately after announcement of the Provisional Government, the ministers of provisional government proceeded to Rajkot and occupied Junagadh House there on 27th September, 2003. The Indian Government acted as a silent spectator.

As a part of preparation for occupation of the Junagadh a “Kathiawar Defence Force” was formed by the Government of Indian with Brigadier Guru Dayal Singh as Commanding Officer and head quarter in Rajkot. Three war ships were anchored at the port of Porbandar. A squadron consisting of eight Tempest air crafts was stationed at Rajkot and additional companies of Armed Forces were deployed at Rajkot. The Indian aircrafts started to fly over Junagadh territory at very low heights to harass the public.

On 8th November, 1947, Mr. Shah Nawaz Bhutto sent a letter to Mr. Nilam Butch, the Provincial Head of Indian Government in Rajkot requesting him to help him in restoring the law & order situation in Junagadh to stop the blood shade of the innocent citizens. Mr. Harvey Johnson took the message to Rajkot. The head of Indian Administration immediately rang up Mr. V.P. Menon in Delhi and read out the letter of Mr. Shah Nawaz Bhutto to him. Mr. Menon immediately rushed to the residence of Pandil Jawahir Lal Nehru and explained the situation. After consultation with various ministers and Mr. Valabh Bhai Patel, the home minister in particular, a formal order was immediately drafted and a notification was issued announcing the take over of Junagadh at the request of the Chief Minister of Junagadh. The notification promised a referendum in due course.

Mr. Shah Nawaz Bhutto left Junagadh for Karachi on the night of 8th November, 1947. On 9th November, 1947, the Indian Air force sent several sorties to fly at a low height on the Junagadh. Soon thereafter columns of Indian tanks, Armour Vehicles and Jeeps carrying Indian solders entered Junagadh State. At 6:00 P.M. on 9th November, 1947, Captain Harvey Johnson and Chief Secretary Mr. Gheewala, a civil servant of Junagadh State, formally handed over the charge of the State to the India.

The Junagadh was occupied on 9th November, 1947 but two days before this occupation, the 8th Sikh regiment reached Kutiyana on 7th November, 1947. More forces consisting of 40 trucks and 50 jeeps also joined the Sikh regiment on 8th November, 1947 to occupy Kutiyana.
