 - They don't have a proper family tree
   but through verbal accounts Maliknama
   managed to provide a detailed
   historical account on House Of Maliks
   from 1700 til 1800s. From Malik
   Imamdin till Malik Muhammad Siddiq,
   all history is verified already and
   provides accuracy.

 - The family emerged from traders to
   Big Merchants in the Subcontinent in
   various fields; Construction,
   Agriculture, and etc. Malik Imamdin
   handled his ancestral lands in
   Lahore, and other parts in Punjab
   through those holdings he used to
   agricultural work, Malik Ilmdeen did
   construction works built many
   buildings and contracted it mostly a
   divison of FC College was built by
   him and Malik Muhammad Siddiq came to
   Karachi as a merchant then
   established himself as the Cotton
   King, Mr. Malik established a Cotton
   Ginning, Pressing and Surgical Wool
   Factory in 1953. He traveled
   extensively since 1949 and was the
   only delegate from Pakistan to attend
   the 50th Anniversary of Cotton
   Association held in Spain in 1950. In
   a short Period Of Time he become a
   legend in Cotton industry. However
   during Z.A Bhutto era his factory was
   occupied by the govt then he sought
   to make Abaseen International which
   laterly become the most famous one in
   Karachi and known to other parts of
   the world. The Transition from
   Landowners to Businessmen was a
   unique era of the Family which is
   ironically described in those books.

These facts are recognised by the family members, prior to 1800s due to incompetent records the family doesnt included names of their ancestors 10 generations. So, Kalimuddin is a reconstructed figure who was the first patriarch of the family during 1712 and through his this lineage beguns. The first edition of Maliknama writes down every fact recognised, verified and scrutinised by various methods of historical interpretation including place, time, and geographical considerations. Through these techniques, the author finds out that during 1712 to 1830s, from Kalimuddin to Malik Imamdin they were very prestigous however no solid clue was found but it all builts upon assumptions **HOWEVER** These assumptions are the historical facts about this family.

Although, history is never written by itself, it is written by generations so we present you this piece of information about a family which transitioned from Imperial Princes to Merchants.
