- Riffat_Akbar_Swati abstract "Riffat Akbar Swati is a former member of the provincial assembly from Mansehra District, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.Riffat Akbar Swati was born on 20 October 1946, to a well-known Kashmiri Rajput family of Srinagar, widely respected for its social, political and educational services in the area. She was the second last from among her nine siblings. Her family arrived in Pakistan one year after partition while her father, Muhammad Ayub Sabir, her two paternal uncles, Judge Abdur Raheem and Bashir Ahmed were held as political prisoners in the Andaman Islands.Her grandfather, Maulvi Muhammad Abdullah, was the first Muslim member of Prajasabah (constituent assembly). He was also was a lawyer of such great measure that Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah came especially to listen to his cross examinations in the court. Later, her father was one of the first members of the constituent legislative assembly. He was also the editor of weekly Al-Barq. He also headed the Muslim conference for quite some time. Maulvi Muhammad Abdullah brought up Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah, the first Chief Minister of Kashmir as his own son, but was defied ruthlessly by the Sheikh which ultimately became the reason of Maulvi Muhammad Abdullah's death caused by a brain haemorrhage.Her early education was in Burn Hall School now known as Army Burn Hall College. Originally, before it was handed over to the army, the school was run by fathers and nuns. Riffat did her graduation from Government Degree College for Women Abbotabad. She did her law graduation from Dhaka University in then former East Pakistan, now Bangladesh. She joined the University of Albany and did her chamber counselling from there. During this period she was in Montreal, Canada for its first World Expo. During her visit to the UK she had a chance to learn hair and beauty skills at Elizabeth Arden's while Miss Arden was still living.Riffat was married into a prominent Swati family of Mansehra. Her father-in-law, Khan Bahadur Raja Ali Gohar Khan, was the Governor of Kashmir. The relationship between the two families can be traced from the time before Partition. Her first cousin, Shameem Ahmed Shameem, editor 'Aina' (meaning 'mirror') a local newspaper, was an all-time member of the Kashmir assembly and had the credit of defeating the then Chief Minister Bakhshi Ghulam Muhammad. Riffat's brother-in-law was the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Kashmir. Her maternal uncle, Brig. Abdul Qayum Khan, later to become her first cousin's (Roohi Raheem) husband, served as senator in Nawaz Sharif's tenure as Prime Minister of Pakistan. Roohi Raheem's brother, Ejaz Raheem, served as Chief Secretary in N.W.F.P (former) and then retired as Senior Secretary, Cabinet Division Pakistan. By irony of fate, when her younger brother, Colonel Farooq Sabir, was a P.O.W in India her elder brother was sitting as a member of the parliament there.Riffat, as a political activist and a social reformer, made it to the provincial parliament of the former N.W.F.P. During her stint in the assembly she played a major part in the enactment of two bills while she headed as the co-chairperson of the Higher Education Committee. Riffat laid the foundation stone of the HIV Consortium, N.W.F.P. She has a reputation as a courageous, bold and outspoken Swatien woman, a symbol of struggle for women's rights not only in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa but across Pakistan. She has promoted the Hindko language, publishing many articles and contributing greatly to Hindko books, and has been honoured with the title of “Madre Hindko” in 2003. She had rendered excellent services in promotion of Hindko. To her credits is the introduction of Dr. Syed Mehboob, a researcher, writer and columnist who previously was writing in English,Urdu and Sindhi but Riffat Swati motivated him and introduced him into the circle of hindko writers. She was the chief guest at the first launching of the Hindko translation of the Holy Quran.".
