My favourite anecdote about Dr Aquila

When she was hired by PINSTECH in 1977 she wrote "humanism" as her religion in her employment forms. It caused such a fuss, DG Intelligence Bureau personally visited and made her write a long explanation 😆❤️

@sophasnain Thankyou v.much for sharing details of such a great lady, Dr.Aquila Islam. Didnt know about her before. Really an inspiration for all, especially Pakistani people. An elegant and educated lady, who served as a physics teacher in many colleges of Sindh.
May her soul rest in peace.
