}}Karrar Hussain (1911–1999) was a Pakistani educationist, writer and literary critic. In his student days in British India he was affiliated with the Khaksar movement, with which he later parted ways due to a difference of opinion.[1]

Biography

Karrar Hussain was born in Kota, Rajasthan, British India. After passing Intermediate Exams from Meerut, he went to Agra University and got master's degrees in English and Urdu. As a student politician, he was affiliated with the Indian National Congress and Khaksar Tehreek by Allama Mushriqui. He started working at Meerut College in 1933, where Jameel Jalibi, Hasan Askari, Intizar Hussain, and Saleem Ahmed were his students.

In 1948 he migrated to Pakistan, where he continued as a lecturer in English at several colleges and was appointed as the first vice-chancellor of the University of Balochistan in 1976.[2]

Among his many writings is a biographical treatise about the Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib commissioned by the Idara Yadgaar-e-Gahlib titled "Ghalib: Sab Achcha Kahein Jissay".[3]

Karrar was also a scholar of Islam, though he advocated that secularism provided the best environment for an Islamic society.[4]

His written work includes several books and published collections of his speeches. He also wrote Urdu poetry, including Naat, Salam, Munqibat, Marsiyas, Nazm and Ghazals. His poems have been published in various literary magazines.
