Overview
Pakistan is home to many great geniuses who, despite having limited opportunities, managed to make valuable contributions to the world. Unfortunately, some of these geniuses passed away at a tragically young age. The six exceptional people highlighted below lived far too short a life to share their numerous talents with the world:
Subheading 1: Abdul Salam (1926-1996)
Abdul Salam was a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, polymath, and human rights advocate from Pakistan. He specialized in theoretical physics and was the country’s first theoretical physicist to receive an international recognition. He founded International Centre for Theoretical Physics, now known as the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics. Salam tragically passed away at the age of 70 due to a heart failure.
Subheading 2: Sarfraz Ahmed Khan Baig (1935-2013)
Sarfraz Ahmed Khan Baig was Pakistan’s most influential and prolific archeologist who dedicated his life to discovering, researching and preserving Pakistan’s historical artifacts. He was renowned for his tremendous efforts to preserve the archaeological heritage and promote cultural exchange in the region. When Baig died, the archaeological society was left without a leader, and his wife was left without her husband.
Subheading 3: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (1948-1997)
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was a master of music, songwriter and Pakistani singer-songwriter who dominated the Pakistani music industry with his Qawwali singing. He was a Qawwali innovator who took his music to the world’s mainstream, making it a prominent part of today’s mainstream culture, be it bhangra or Bollywood. He left the world too soon at the age of 49, far before his full potential could be realized.
Subheading 4: Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan (1902-1968)
Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan was a legendary figure who is credited with taking Indian classical music to the Western world.

His contribution to Indian classical music was the greatest of its time until he was taken away too early at the age of 66.
Subheading 5: Begum Nusrat Bhutto (1929-2011)
Begum Nusrat Bhutto was a woman of exceptional political prowess. She was a formidable first lady and the first female Prime Minister of Pakistan who was dedicated to women’s emancipation and emancipation of the downtrodden masses. She left the world too soon at the age of 81, far before she could fulfill her dynamic vision for Pakistan.
Subheading 6: Javed Miandad (1957-present)
Javed Miandad is Pakistan’s most prominent and celebrated cricketer who scored the most centuries, runs and even hit a game-winning sixer in the final against India.

Despite his major role in strengthening the sports industry in Pakistan, Miandad is still going strong at the age of 63.
