Sir Ghulam Hussain Hidayatullah was born at Shikarpur in 1879. He received his early education from Shikarpur High School, Sindh Madressah, Karachi, and then he was educated at D. J. Sindh College, Karachi and Government Law College, Bombay. After completing his studies in 1902 he started his legal career from Hyderabad bar association. After practicing law at Hyderabad Courts for two years years, he started his public career in 1904 when he was elected member of the Hyderabad Municipality. Later he joined the All India Muslim League and became member of Bomaby Legislative Assembly and after Sindh’s separation became member of the Sindh Legislative Council in 1937. He became first Chief Minister of Sindh in 1937 but had to resign in 1938 because the coalition whose head he was collapsed because of its internal disunity. He again became Chief Minister of Sindh as the nominee of the All India Muslim League in 1942 and continued as such till the creation of Pakistan on 14 August 1947. After establishment of Pakistan, he was appointed as first Governor of Sindh by Quaid-i-Azam and remained as such until his death on 4 October 1948, shortly after the death of Quaid-i-Azam. Sir Hidayatullah was very close to Quaid-i-Azam. During the Pakistan Movement, Sir Hidayatullah worked with the Quaid for the cause of Pakistan. He shared with him all the problems being faced by him in Sindh politics including the bickering attitude of G.M.Sayed and others, though the later was President of the Sindh Muslim League, reported to Jinnah in a number of letters preserved in the National Archives of Pakistan, Islamabad. In this paper the role and contribution of Sir Hidayatullah, the Grand Old Man of Sindh, during the Pakistan Movement, has been discussed and evaluated. As far as the literature on Sir Hidayatullah is concerned very little has been written on his personality as well as onhis contribution for the cause of Pakistan.
