A professor whose uncle played a helping hand in founding Pakistan, talks about his life after publishing his autobiography 10 years after starting it. Matiullah Dard, 75, now lives opposite Belmarsh prison in Thamesmead but was born in the Punjab region of India before partition. His family, along with more than seven million Muslims, crossed the border to the new country of Pakistan, before living all over the world. He has scores of family who still live in Pakistan but they have all managed to escape the ravaging effects of the recent flood. The father-of-one, who helped spread the Islamic movement, called Ahmadiyya, to communities worldwide, was asked by the community in Britain to chart their history. Now a decade later, the book called An Ahmadiyya Muslim Autobiography is finished. He said: "I thought I should write an autobiography on how I established these communities. I feel very satisfied that I have recorded the events of my life which would relate to the history of things, particularly my uncle’s part in founding Pakistan."
