Sir Abdul Qadir (1872–1950) was a Muslim editor. He was the leader of Anjuman-i-Himayat-i-Islam in 1941. He used his position as the lead of this organization to form other, pro-partition of India organizations. Qadir was the editor of the ''Observer'', the first Muslim newspaper published in English. In 1901 he launched the magazine ''Makhzan'', an Urdu language publication. This magazine published the early works of Allama Muhammad Iqbal.〔(Pakistan Times supplement on Iqbal )〕 In 1904 Qadir went to study law in London, and was called to the bar in 1907 after which he returned to India. Qadir had been knighted by the British in 1927 and in 1935 had been a member of the governing council of India.〔(photo and very limited explanation about Qadir )〕 Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's book ''Mahatma Gandhi'' contains a chapter by Qadir, where he particularly relates his various experiences with the understanding of Gandhi in Europe in the 1930s.
