Bawany dynasty was founded by two Bawany brothers, Ahmad Karim Ebrahim<br />

Bawany and abdul Latif Ibrahim Bawany born in 1882 and 1890 respectively at<br />

Jetpur, Kathiawar, who had migrated to Burma towards end the end of 19th<br />

century and set up Ahmad Violin Hosiery Works in Rangoon. The two brothers<br />

reportedly made their initial fortunes by selling cloth as a vendor on bicycle from<br />

village to village. It was in Rangoon that they incorporated their first limited<br />

company and established themselves as an importer and exporter.<br />

After the military coup in Burma they returned to set up a business in India and in<br />

1947 migrated to <strong>Pakistan</strong>. It was perhaps in memory of the Hosiery Mills at<br />

Rangoon that a company with the same name was incorporated in Karachi and is<br />

doing a flourishing business.<br />

known for his honesty and hard work in home town Jetpur.<br />

and supported the construction of first mosque in Japan at Kobe.<br />

Bawanies were a big family and Ahmad Bawany had seven sons namely Siddiq,<br />

Majid, Yahya, Ibrahim, Amin, Rauf and Zakaria Bawany, each of whom is<br />

believed to be heading at least one idependent industrial unit independently.<br />

Presetly the members of Bawany family are active in textile, jute, sugar, particle<br />

board, Oxygen, leather, garments, tanneries and cables.<br />

Al-Noor is splinter of Bawanie and the two have joint interests in several<br />
