Miangul Abdul Haq Jahanzeb Popularly Known As Wali Sahib Had Four Sons.
This Particular And Rare Picture Is Of Shahzada Miangul Alamzeb Also Known As Hafiz Bahadar Saib (Late). Wali Sahib Stated About Him In His Autobiography (1985):
"In 1936 my father (referring to Badshah Sahib) developed cataract, and H.H. Johnson, the Politcal Agent, advised him to bring Sir Henry Holland, the famous missioniary doctor and eye specialist from Quetta. He operated on my father's eye; and I also showed him Alamzeb, who was six years old at the time. "He will not live beyond 17," said Dr. Holland, "I can bet he will not - and if he lives, he will be mad, stark mad."
But he is still living, and he has fathered nice children: five of them, two girls and three boys, all brilliant. The sisters are married to very good and cultured men. The first grandson Akbarzeb is now in the Pakistan Foreign Service after getting a B.A. degree at Cambridge. Aslamzeb, the second, is in the Pakistan Army, and the third, Anwarzeb is a doctor.
So Alamzeb has very brilliant children and descendants. But he himself is so intransigent that he will not visit me. When his monthly payday comes, he sends someone else to collect the money. Usually, I send it to him beforehand. And he is in the hands of his servants, we cannot do anything. He gives all his money to the servants.
If they had looked after him well, i would have been happy, I would have increased the subsidy. But they don't do very well for him. And he has no feelings for his children - if they go there, he says; "How are you?", that is all. He won't meet his wife; for eight years he did not go to his mother. Now he goes sometimes, but he does not come to me, One can still say that he is intelligent. But he has a one-track mind."
