Qamar_Azam_Hashmi
Prof Hashmi is remembered and honored as a strong pillar of the Urdu Movement in Bihar that led to this language becoming the second official language in Bihar. He sacrificed his time, money (whatever he had) and health for the cause of Urdu. He continued as the Vice President of the Anjuman-e-Taraqqi-e-Urdu, Bihar till June 2006. He went into seclusion after the death of Prof. (Dr.) Abdul Moghni. His name is also associated with the fearless Urdu journalism in Bihar during 1970s.
Hundreds of institutions, academic as well as social and political organizations, organized condolence meetings across the state of Bihar and beyond. The front pages of almost all newspapers reported his death in greatly admiring tones. Hindi newspapers were far ahead in reporting the news, and claimed that Janab Qamar Azam Hashmi Sb was instrumental in churning Urdu PhDs out of Hindi writers as well.
Politicians competed with each other in releasing press-notes of condolence and visiting his rented residence in Chandwara mohalla of Muzaffarpur. Chief Minister, Mr. Nitish Kumar, was full of praise for this great son-of-the-soil, as were all prominent politicians of Bihar.
Janab Qamar Azam Hashmi Sb was born on 20th November 1942 to late Dr. Azam Sb, a freedom fighter who had to face the prison many times. He had settled in Mahdauli mohalla of Darbhanga (originally belonged to Tikauli village under Runni Saidpur block of Sitamarhi district. He was a respected professor of Bihar University wherein he also rendered his services as head of the Urdu department for a long time.
Janab Qamar Azam Hashmi Sb joined the L.S. Collge, as lecturer of Urdu and Persian, in 1970, and became Reader in 1978 to rise to the level of professor in 1986. He served the L.S. College, as its principal, from 1999 to 2001.
He was also well known as a writer of dramas.
Bihar Anjuman condoles the death of an exemplary hero of literature the replacement of whom is almost impossible, and prays to the Almighty for a high place in Jannatul Firdaus. May Allah bless his four siblings (2 sons and 2 daughters) with sabr-e-jameel.
Janab Qamar Azam Hashmi Sb has gifted to Bihar Anjuman two priceless gems, two dedicated volunteers, two invaluable well-wishers, in the form of Janab Prof. Dr. Arshad Masood Hashmi Sb (team-leader of RCC Gopalganj @ Hathwa) and Janab Athar Shaeen Hasmi Sb. (the sponsor of RCC Gopalganj @ Hathwa). May Allah raise the status of the entire family in this world as well as in the hereafter!

RAHBAR Coaching Centre, Kishanganj: brother Md. Anzar Alam, Asst GM, Tech Advisor to Director (Finance), RINL, B.E. (Mech. Engg., BIT Sindri), MBA (IIM Calcutta)’s report on his visit of RCC: I visited Kishanganj this month (April 15-19). During my visit I met and interacted with teachers, students, project leader and members of RCC. [http://kishanganj.biharanjuman.org/]     top
RAHBAR Coaching Centre, Kishanganj: Md. Anzar Alam visits, 15-19 April 2012   
I made a surprise visit to the centre and Masa Allah I found all the classes were being conducted at that time. I interacted with the students and had a good discussion with the students of class-9 and Class-10 and also enquired about the teaching programs and methodlogies. I also discussed with the teachers if they had any issues to share with. Finally I encouraged and motivated the students and teachers to do well. Photos of my interaction in the classes with teachers and students are enclosed in this mail.
During my visit I also happened to attend the interactive session with the applicants of Class-8 aspiring to be admitted into this RCC. For the 20 seats we have received around 65 applications so far. During the session, I and Naeem sb. briefly interviewed around 40 students on that day. Barring three students, all were needy and during my interview my eyes got wet. All of them were from weakest section of the society. I wish we could took all of them but seats are limited. Photos of this interaction will be in next email because of attachment size limitation.This time I requested the project leader to carry out door survey of the applicants also. Project Leader has agreed for this. Announcement of final selection will be made tomorrow(29th April) along with the monthly program. The centre has few issues pertaining to site as well as others. We are almost sure to get an alternative location. Details we would be sharing in due course. Finally, I propose for consideration of BA, if possible, to increase one more teacher in RCC Kishanganj so that we can increase one more section for class-8 and in coming 2 years in phases for class-9 and class-10 by keeping view the fact Kishanganj has a very high population of Muslims (70%, as per official census) and poverty and illetracy are also high. This would certainly help many needy families. Kindly it may be considered. May Allah forgive us for our shortcomings!
