Mushtaq’s Key Role in Founding Muslim League-
Nawab Waqar-ul-Mulk was one of the Muslim League’s leaders. Nawab Waqar-ul-Mulk, Sir Agha Khan, Sir Shafi of Lahore, and Nawab Salimullah Khan of Dhaka convened an All India Muhammadan Educational Conference in Calcutta in December 1906, and at the same time, they founded the Muslim League, of which Nawab Waqar-ul-Mulk was General Secretary. As a result, he was the Muslim League’s founding father.
The Title of “Nawab”
For 17 years, he worked for the British in the Hyderabad State. The British Government of India bestowed the title of Nawab on him in 1908 for his distinguished achievements. The Nizam of Hyderabad bestowed the title Waqar-ud-Dola, Waqar-ul-Mulk, Intisar-e-Jang to him.

Impact of Nawab on Indian Society-
Sir Syed’s close confidante and Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the MAO College from 1907 to 1914, during a volatile period in the institution’s history, Nawab Waqar-ul-Mulk has made a position for himself in the history of the Aligarh movement. As one of the founders of the All India Muslim League, of which he was the first Joint Secretary, he helped shape far-reaching political changes. According to all accounts, he was a severe, unyielding individual who lacked the lightness and humour that characterized the Muslim elite of the time.
He was described as a man “who commanded respect and dread rather than affection,” according to one source. It was Nawab Waqar-ul-magnetic Mulk’s charisma that persuaded Quaid-e-Azam (Jinnah) to join the All India Muslim League, which changed the course of Indian history. Nawab Waqar-ul-welcome Mulk’s address on the occasion is a significant document for Muslims.
Legacy of Nawab Viqar-ul-Mulk-
In 1912, Nawab Viqar-ul-Mulk resigned as Secretary of Aligarh University due to ill health. By 1915, he had been crippled by a stroke, and after a protracted illness, he died on January 27, 1917, at the age of 75. He was laid to rest in the family cemetery in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh.
Viqar-ul-Mulk (Mushtaq Hussain Zuberi) was largely regarded among his contemporaries as a severe, unyielding man who was not prone to humour. People who knew him also claimed that he commanded respect and dread rather than affection.
Nonetheless, he was able to carve a place for himself in the history of the Aligarh movement as Sir Syed Ahmad Khan’s close friend, and he was placed second only to him in creating far-reaching political and educational advancements for British India’s Muslims. Today on this glorious day we pay respect and tribute to Nawab Viqar-ul-Mulk’s birth anniversary.
