I got 9 but I am ashamed. The 'correct' answers to several of the questions were guesses. The truth is that if this was not multiple choice but straight questions, the number of correct answers would not have been more than 2-3. While we know so much about, heroes of Bollywood and Hollywood our knowledge of our true hero is abysmal.

It is rare to find a selfless person in Pakistan like him, living a very simple life, serving the humanity under very difficult situations, established an institution that is serving Pakistanis irrespective of cast, color or religion.
If any person who deserves a Nobel Prize as a worldly recognition for serving the humanity in this world, that person is Abdul Sattar Edhi. He may not win the Nobel Prize in this world but InshaAllah he may be rewarded a higher place in Aakhirat for his relentless and sefless services to the poor people .

Maybe I do not know much about Edhi sahib but what I know that he is a true humanitarian. He started from scratch with his wife, and sons in a small place. Then he gradually opened a office near the old Sabzi Mandi, University Road, with them. He gave first class service to all his clients. He had ambulances, a mortuary, food for poor and many more then lately he used helicoo\pters for remote areas to bring persons from there to the city. His entire family was involved in this namely wife, an children. Then he made a mortuary for the dead persons to keep them (mortuary is not correct word) where people who had no one to claim could be kept for the relatives to find them. He was a great hero alongwith him his entire family have dedicated themselves to this service. There r lots of things to mention but maybe I also may not be knowing some of them. but to mention Edhi sahib he was a great man. Long live his Edhi Foundation. hk

Edhi is an IDEAL. I tell the high headed muslims in India to at least acknowledge the work of Edhi Sahab and there is none second to Edhi Saheb for just one reason, he is not funded by a foreign counry. And i am surprised to know that mullas of Pak do malign him too... Pity..
