About Me
- Akhtar Shumaar
- Rawalpindi, Punjab/Pakistan, Pakistan
- Is it about ‘Me’? My dear homeland reckons me as Akhtar Shumaar (The Star Counter), so it is my name in literary and cultural circles here in Pakistan. These days I am appointed as visiting professor (Scholar) for the chair of Urdu Language & Literature and Pakistan Studies at the Ain Shams University Cairo in Egypt. Prior to this I have been working as Head of Urdu Department at Sir Forman Christian College (A Chartered University) at Lahore, Pakistan. My teaching career at various colleges in Lahore; Government College, Government Dyal Singh College, Government Degree College Shahdara and Government Islamia Degree College Qasur is the wealth of my teaching career which wrought forth my present responsibilities to work at a very prestigious university of Egypt-Ain Shams University Cairo.
