Abdus Salam

Pakistani theoretical physicist, born in Jhang, Punjab, in 1926 into a family professing Ahmadiyya. He shared the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics for the theory unifying the electromagnetic and weak forces, the first Pakistani to win a Nobel Prize; founded the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste in 1964 and Pakistan's space agency SUPARCO; left his country in protest in 1974 after its parliament declared members of the Ahmadiyya community non-Muslim; and died in Oxford in 1996.
