Jilani was a junior officer in the Indian Army and served with distinction in the Second World War, then with the independence of 1947 opted for Pakistan and took a leave of absence to join the fighting in Kashmir as an irregular. He joined the Military Intelligence Directorate and commanded field operations in the 1965 and 1971 wars against India. In 1971 he assumed the directorship of the Directorate-General for Inter-Services Intelligence (''ISI''). After six years there, he assisted General Zia in the operation code-named ''Fair Play'' to remove Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, subsequently joining Zia's military administration as Secretary General at the Ministry of Defence. In 1980 he was appointed martial law administrator and Governor of the Punjab Province, which he governed until 1985. In retirement he was the principal Founder of Chand Bagh School. ==Early life and military career== Educated at the Doon School, Dehradun,〔Neena Sharma, (Doscos to celebrate 75th anniversary ) from ''The Tribune'' dated 18 October 2010, at tribuneindia.com, Retrieved 24 March 2012: "Old-timers will happily tell you that the school inspired old Doscos from Pakistan to establish a similar school in their country “The Chand Bagh school is inspired by the Doon and was founded by Lt Gen Ghulam Jilani Khan (retd) in 1998 in Lahore,” said Piyush Malviya, Public Relations officer, Doon School."〕 and the Indian Military Academy, Jilani was commissioned into the Indian Army in 1944 in the 129th DCO Baluchis of the 10th Baluch Regiment as an infantry officer.〔Hasan Akhtar 'Pakistan Army hierarchy switch by President Zia' in ''The Times'', issue 60608 dated 23 April 1980, p. 6, col. B〕 Between 1945 and 1947 he commanded an infantry platoon of the Punjabi-Pathan Company of the 129th Baluchi Battalion. In 1947, with the independence, his unit was transferred to the new Pakistan Army. Between 1947 and 1948 he was granted a leave of absence to become a guerrilla fighter in Kashmir. He was not only a fierce opponent of India but also a supporter of the United States. During the 1950s, he was a Company Commander in the Baloch Regiment as well as a Battalion GSO-I and second-in-command, and for a time his Battalion was posted in East Pakistan. He was promoted to Major in 1952 and to Lieutenant Colonel in 1957. After serving briefly as an Instructor and Adjutant at the Pakistan Military Academy between 1956 and 1958, he commanded the 11th Battalion of the Baloch Regiment between 1958 and 1960, when he was selected for a Military Intelligence appointment. He was promoted to Colonel in 1963, and in 1965 he was the Military Intelligence Field Officer attached with the 6th Armoured Division at Chawinda, and he was awarded with the Sitara-e-Jurat for his combat support service during the war. He was promoted to the rank of Brigadier in 1967 and was for most of the time after that a Departmental Director in the Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence. During 1971 he was with the Pakistani forces fighting Bangladeshi independence which suffered painful defeats at the hands of the Indian Army.〔Abhijit Bhattacharyya, ''(THE TURBULENT HISTORY OF THE STATE WITHIN A STATE )'' from The Telegraph'' dated 12 February 2012, at telegraphindia.com, accessed 6 April 2012〕 With the rank of Brigadier he was Chief of Staff to the Commander-in-chief of Eastern Command until the middle of 1971, when he was promoted Major-General and posted to Pakistan's principal intelligence agency, the Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI, as Director General.〔Hasan Zaheer, ''The Separation of East Pakistan: the rise and realisation of Bengali Muslim Nationalism'' (Oxford University Press, 1994), p. 505: "Brigadier Ghulam Jillani, Chief of Staff to the Commander Eastern Command until the middle of the year...〕 From 1971 to 1978 Jilani headed the ISI, being the third man to hold the position.〔Sabir Shah, (Lieutenant General Zaheer 18th DG ISI since 1959 ) dated 10 March 2012, at thenews.com.pk, Retrieved 24 March 2012: "The 17 Pakistan army officials who have headed the ISI to date, are: Brigadier Riaz Hussain (1959 to 1966), Major General (then Brig) Mohammad Akbar Khan (1966 to 1971), Lieutenant General (then Major General) Ghulam Jilani Khan (1971 to 1978)..."〕 In that role, he served three Pakistani governments, those headed successively by Yahya Khan, Z. A. Bhutto, and Zia-ul-Haq.〔Ashok Kapur, ''Pakistan in Crisis'' (Routledge, 2002), p. 128〕 In 1976, when Tikka Khan retired as Chief of Army Staff, Jilani was the fifth most senior army officer. Tikka Khan considered those in the first, second and fourth positions unsuitable to replace him, so recommended the third most senior officer, Akbar Khan, to Prime Minister and Defence Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. In the event, Bhutto ignored this recommendation and chose instead General Zia-ul-Haq, seventh in the list of seniority. Jilani, who lacked the experience of combat formation command above higher than an infantry Battalion, was thus passed over, but in fact he had lobbied Bhutto to appoint Zia, and Bhutto later wrote that he had been influenced in the matter by General Jilani Khan.〔Ḥusain Ḥaqqānī, ''Pakistan: between Mosque and Military'' (Carnegie Endowment, 2005), (pp. 111, 112 )〕 In April 1976, and again in October, Jilani sent reports to Bhutto which recommended the holding of fresh elections sooner rather than later, and Bhutto agreed with this advice.〔Ḥaqqānī (2005), (p. 114 )〕 The 1977 general election had been expected in the second half of the year, but on 7 January Bhutto announced that the election would be held on 7 March.〔Surendra Nath Kaushik, ''Pakistan under Bhutto's leadership'' (1985), p. 259: "Bhutto stated in the National Assembly on January 7, 1977 that general elections in Pakistan would be held on March 7, 1977."〕 When he was later awaiting execution, Bhutto hinted that he might have been trapped in a conspiracy.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ghulam Jilani Khan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
