Mian Anwar's predecessor M.H. Khan was Bengali by ethnicity and suffered the same fate as those of his ethnic political elites of the time: dejection, unwarranted discrimination and a collective banishment from national memory in Pakistan largely by the British-patronised Generals. Based on his reported engagement with CIA's Allen Dulles, he was 'not dove-ish' toward his Western contemporaries.

I was able to profile him, which remains the only public record of his service in IB. Again, regrettably, archives in Pakistan have chosen not to discuss him.

Hi Zaki, I have sent a copy of the file to the email in your subscription. It includes a brief mention of Khan's unhappiness at his departure.

Received, thanks! He was certainly unhappy on his unceremonious removal. Do I have your permission to include a brief excerpt from the archived file to update my profile on Khan?
