In Lahore, Mehr meet Shibli Nomani and Nawab Waqar-ul-Mulk Kamboh, who were members of a delegation from Aligarh Muslim University. Young Maulana Mehr, who had just completed his education and who had a passion to serve the cause of freedom and the Muslim 'millat' (nation), began writing in the Daily Zamindar (newspaper) and eventually started working there. The Indian Muslims, apart from their participation in the Pakistan Movement, were agitated at what was happening, at that time, in the Muslim world. Mehr was deeply involved in the developments on the Indian political front. He felt that while Delhi and Lucknow were steeped deep in Eastern culture, Lahore, was a happy blend of the East and the West, owing to its closer affiliation to the British Raj. He then enrolled at Islamia College (Lahore), where he developed a fondness for the city and its culture. Mehr went to primary school in Khambra, then to Mission High School in Jalandhar City.
