He published under the name "Eqbal Ahmad". -- Rbellin 01:28, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
As a young man he used to spell his first name, somewhat idiosyncratically, Egbal (with a G), but for most of his life it was Eqbal -- always with an E, never with an I.

[edit] Can someone provide family details
The page is missing details on his family of origin and of marriage. All I have been able to find is:
Eqbal Ahmad was born in the state of Bihar, India in 1932. When he was 4, his father was killed in a land dispute; in 1948, during the partition of India, he and his family (who were Muslims) moved to Lahore, Pakistan. He attended Foreman Christian College in Lahore, then came to Occidental College in California on a Rotary scholarship in the mid-1950s. He entered Princeton in 1958, where he obtained his doctorate in 1965. He taught at Cornell in the 1960s, was appointed a fellow at the Adlai Stevenson Institute of International Affairs, at the University of Chicago, and later joined the Washington Institute for Policy Studies. He was the first directory of the Transnational Institute in Amsterdam. He married Julie Diamond in 1969, and had one daughter, Dohra.
