Ishtiaq Ahmad (or Ishtiaq Ahmed), is a fiction writer from Lahore, Pakistan, famous for his detective novels. He was popular in 70s and 80s and started, Inspector Jamshaid series, Inspector Kamran Mirza series, and Shoki series. He is currently editor of magazine, "[Bachon ka islam]".

Ishtiaq Ahmed: has authored hundreds of suspense thriller novels in Urdu for kids during the 1970s, 80’s and into the 1990s. His books were published at a very fast rate. His detective teams included Inspector Jamshed and Kamran and the Shoki brothers. It was the Inspector Jamshed team (and the series built around their escapades to protect world peace) that captured the imagination of several generations in Pakistan. The series featured a detective, inspector Jamshed, who solved crimes with the help of his three children, Mehmood, Farooq & Farzana. Inspector Jameshed hated evil and in his crime-fighting he had not only his children to help, but also a retired army officer, Khan Rehman, and Professor Daod.

Inspector Jamshed’s enemies were not just after money or power - they were morally corrupt and somehow always had some external forces (Zionists/Imperialists)helping them in their evil plans. Ishtiaq Ahmed was very expressive in his his resentment towards states or actors that he deemed anti-Islamic.


[edit] Sectarianism in Ishtiaq's books

Anti-Ahmadi propaganda has been featured very prominently in the back pages and sometimes in the stories too.
