Hussain Munir (1936–2025) was a Pakistani Norwegian from Thiro Chak, Pakistan. He was among the first Pakistanis to contribute in the Norwegian industrial workforce in Oslo in the 1970s[1][2][3]. Later, he would take a role as a front-figure of liberty for education and enlightenment for the Pakistani community in Norway[4]. He would also receive the honour to be acting president of the Thiro Chak Community, which he would decline and instead take the position as vice president.

Biography

[edit]

Hussain Munir was born in India on January 14, 1936 [1], which later became Kharian, Pakistan.

During his youth, he run a company in Lahore, Pakistan — which would be his uprising as well as one of the major catalysts of why he would later emigrate to Norway.
