extensively since 1949 and was the
only delegate from Pakistan to attend
the 50th Anniversary of Cotton
Association held in Spain in 1950. In
a short Period Of Time he become a
legend in Cotton industry. However
during Z.A Bhutto era his factory was
occupied by the govt then he sought

the world. The Transition from
Landowners to Businessmen was a
unique era of the Family which is
ironically described in those books.
These facts are recognised by the family members, prior to 1800s due to incompetent records the family doesnt included names of their ancestors 10 generations. So, Kalimuddin is a reconstructed figure who was the first patriarch of the family during 1712 and through his this lineage beguns. The first edition of Maliknama writes down every fact recognised, verified and scrutinised by various methods of historical interpretation including place, time, and geographical considerations. Through these techniques, the author finds out that during 1712 to 1830s, from Kalimuddin to Malik Imamdin they were very prestigous however no solid clue was found but it all builts upon assumptions **HOWEVER** These assumptions are the historical facts about this family.
Although, history is never written by itself, it is written by generations so we present you this piece of information about a family which transitioned from Imperial Princes to Merchants.
