Shahbaz Khan, famously known as Shahbaz Hakbari, was born on January 3, 1958, in the small village of Kosam Baagh Hakbara in Jammu and Kashmir’s Bandipore district.
According to a report, he is a multifaceted individual with exceptional talent in poetry, prose, mathematics, and education. With an MSc in Mathematics and a BEd degree, Shahbaz Khan is highly educated and has also received training at the national level to become a teacher. Over the years, Shahbaz Khan has established himself as a Master Trainer at the Election Commission of India and Census Department.

The report said that in addition to his impressive credentials, Shahbaz Khan is a Broadcaster. He has translated numerous works from various Indian languages and has even composed the anthem for JKIMS. However, his most notable achievement is being the first Kashmiri poet to translate Veshnaw Jantto, a work later adopted and played by the Government of India.
One of Shahbaz Khan’s significant contributions is his unique ability to intertwine mathematical and physics concepts with Sufi and Shastter thoughts. He has introduced a new concept called “Shooniyah Sampoorna,” which represents every entity in the universe lying between zero and one.
“Every entity in this universe lies between zero and one, and it is fascinating to explore the infinite possibilities within this range,” Shahbaz Khan said.
Shahbaz Khan’s exceptional skill lies in his ability to transform complex concepts into poetic and prose forms, earning him the title of the “Zero Man of India” for his contributions to mathematics and his innovative teaching approach.
“Mathematics and poetry may seem like two different worlds, but both require creativity, imagination, and thinking outside the box,” Shahbaz Khan explained.
His love for poetry is evident in his translation of Iqbal’s renowned poem “Khude Hae Teg Fusaan” and his translation of 15 poems from 25 Indian languages for the NZOP Republic Day Mushaira.
“Poetry is a powerful tool for self-expression, conveying ideas and emotions,” Shahbaz Khan expresses.
Furthermore, Shahbaz Khan is a unique government teacher who has dedicated his career to teaching and has placed great trust in the government education system by ensuring his own children receive their education in government schools. Despite being part of the system, he has successfully navigated it, providing quality education to his children, the report said.
