Abdus Salam: Pakistan's first and only Nobel laureate
Original: Abdus Salam: Pakistan’s first (and so far only) Nobel prize-winner
Abdus Salam, the Pakistani theoretical physicist, shared the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the electroweak unification of fundamental forces. He remains Pakistan's only Nobel prize-winner. Discussion continues around his legacy, including how his membership of the Ahmadiyya community led to marginalisation in his home country despite his global scientific standing.
Why now: Renewed interest in Salam's scientific legacy and his complicated place in Pakistan's history.
