"Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri Started the 1965 War"

Born in Delhi, Shamim Ahmad is a scion of the Punjabi Sodaran-i-Delhi. He passed the competitive civil service examination in 1964, beginning a career that would place him at the centre of Pakistan’s fiscal administration. Over the decades, he earned a reputation as a thoughtful and reform-minded officer, combining technical competence with a broader analytical outlook on economic governance. His brief but consequential tenure as chairman of the Central Board of Revenue (1996), now known as the Federal Board of Revenue, came at a time of structural transition. Following his retirement from public service, he entered a remarkably productive literary phase, establishing himself as a serious author with a distinctive psychoanalytic lens. His book My Friend Mairaj – An Intimate Biography (2024) offers a deeply personal and political portrait of Mairaj Muhammad Khan, a founding figure of the Pakistan People’s Party, capturing both the man and the turbulent era he helped shape. In Zulfikar Ali Bhutto: The Psychodynamics of his Rise and Fall, he presents an original interpretation of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, analyzing the psychological impulses and personality traits that influenced Bhutto’s dramatic political trajectory. His Torment and Creativity: A Psychoanalytic Study of Literature and Art explores the inner conflicts and emotional forces that drive artistic creation, reflecting Ahmad’s longstanding engagement with literature, psychology, and philosophy. Another notable work, The Last Night, further demonstrates his range as a reflective and probing writer. Taken together, Shamim Ahmad’s life represents a rare synthesis of high public office and serious intellectual inquiry. His contributions to tax administration helped shape institutional reforms at a critical moment, while his writings have enriched Pakistan’s biographical and psychoanalytic literature, offering nuanced insights into politics, personality, and creativity. ************************************ Shakil Chaudhary is a journalist, author, and researcher.
