Janab Iqbal Ahmed Chaudhary saheb was born in the year 1933 in Sahespur Village of Bijnor Dist. in Uttar Pradesh. He breathed his last on 27th March 2011 in New Delhi. The Journey from 1933 to 2011 has been remarkable with full of achievments, accomplishments, and satisfaction. For a person who is born in a small village and then migrating to New Delhi, which is an ocean and making a place for himself in that ocean, leaving his marks in the society with a strong message for the young generation to learn from and follow, is something which very few blessed souls of Allah swt can get in this world. He is very well known and respected in the country's Logistics, Literary, Educational, Social and Political circles. For him the meaning of life was not just living for himself for serving the less privileged and the society. He led his life by example.
After migrating to Delhi, he started his career by working in a transport company and then he started his own Transport company called "GREEN ROADLINES" which is having the pan India presence. He built up the empire and has re-defined the meaning of logistics in India. His hard work, dedication, commitment, sincerity, honesty and integrity has made Green Roadlines as one of the most sought after logistic company of the country. This is a success story and a research stuff for somebody who would like to dig and find out how can a small transport company which was started in a street of Sadr Bazar of Old Delhi could become the India's leading transport company. This is through sheer hard work, beleiving in one self and the faith in Allah and thats what all Janab Iqbal Chaudhary saheb did and success touched his feet and he kept the success there and never let it travel to his head.
I have known him for many years and he was a fatherly figure for me. He was very soft spoken and was always concerned about the well being of others. He very strongly beleived in the educational empowerment of the society which is evident from the establishment of the New Horizan School in New Delhi which is considered as one of the best schools in Delhi where urdu as a language is mandatory. He was a true urdu lover and served the urdu community in a great manner by encouraging the poets and writers assisting them to publish their poetry and the work and also help them financially. He championed the casue of the education and never beleived in the self promotion or publicity.
His role in the elections of former Indian Captain Mohammed Azharuddin has been very active but silent. Sitting in Delhi, he ran the telecampaign for Azhar and I remember, when I first shared the news of Azhar contesting from Moradabad, he felt so happy that he immediatly told me "Beta fikr mat karo, Azhar jeet gaya hai" and thats what exactly happened. That was his prediction for which he did his part of mobilising the support in Azhar's favour in the entire Moradabad Parliamentary Constituency. He is such a popular figure in Moradabad Constituency and I must say that he just simply didnt rule the hearts of the people but he lives there in there hearts.
He is survived by my Aunt, sons Sultan Chaudhary, Javed Chaudhary and Parvez Chaudhary and a daughter Tabassam Manzar. His demise is a personal loss to me as I am one of his own family members. He was not just a person but he was an institution in himself. I pray to Allah swt to grant Jannah to my beloved uncle and give us the courage to withstand this irreperable loss. Ameen
