Today October 19th. is the Birthday of Professor Dr. Salim-uz-Zaman Siddiqui, who was a leading Pakistani scientist in Natural Product Chemistry. He is credited for pioneering the isolation of unique chemical compounds from the Neem (Azadirachta indica), Rauwolfia, and various other flora. He revolutionised the research on pharmacology of various domestic plants found in South Asia to extract novel chemical substances of medicinal importance. One of his famous pupil is Professor Atta ur Rehman - another great name in Pakistani academia and ressearch.
Pakistan TV Channels - not a single one, mentioned this fact. A nation who can not even remember its heroes is undoubtly going down the spiral. We are doomed.
The Free Dictionary and a few other websites carried this as their main news but not Pakistan. Shame on our media (who were not tired of putting up documentaries of filmi heroes from across the border).
