After studying there for a year he was brought into a small Azad (Free) School in Utmanzai-founded in 1921 by his father with the assistance of the Anjuman-e-Islah-ul-Afaghina (Society for the Reformation of the Afghans) just for the purpose to stop the people saying that a rich person is studying in city and poor will get educated in this wretched school.
