He was the Deputy Leader of the All-India Muslim League from 1938 to 1942, and was appointed to the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan in April, 1950. He was close friends with Allama Muhammad Iqbal, a college hostel-mate and a fellow poet. Nairang had sketched Allama Iqbal's personality as a college student and had described the exact location of his college hostel room in an article that he wrote at that time. Allama Iqbal had resided in that hostel room between 1895 and 1900. In 2016, the evidence mentioned about Iqbal's hostel room in Nairang's article helped the Government College's staff in tracing the exact location of his room. Ghulam Bhik Nairang was born in Daurana, near Ambala in British India in 1876. He received his BA degree from Government College, Lahore. He also joined the editorial staff of a magazine, Makhzan. Nairang was politically active and became an important leader of Muslim India. He was a member of the Central Legislative Assembly from 1936 to 1942. Nairang also was actively involved in the Khilafat Movement, played a protective and key role in resisting the anti-Muslim Shuddhi movement by some Hindu leaders in British Punjab where they were trying to reconvert Muslims back to Hinduism. After migrating to Pakistan, he also was a member of the first Constituent Assembly of Pakistan.
