Only boycott of British goods won’t do Why Abdul Hamied went on to create Cipla
Even as a young man, Khwaja Abdul Hamied knew exactly what he wanted from life.
In 1923, when he was 25, he suddenly decided to quit a promising job as reader in chemistry at Jamia Millia Islamia in Aligarh. Instead, he determined to go abroad for further studies. He didn’t have the money, nor for that matter a passport, but go abroad he would, one way or another.
Two years later, as a student in Berlin, he met Luba Derczanska briefly while on a cruise boat, and fell in love in ‘a flash’. By the time he left for India, he was sure that he wanted Luba as his life’s companion. Never mind that she was a Jewish student from Lithuania and he a Muslim from India facing an uncertain future and, as he later confessed, no way of knowing ‘when and how I would be able to come back to Germany to marry [her]’.
