Mian Bashir Ahmed represented the country in the United Nations to argue for peace in Kashmir. He has headed Indian delegations to international forums.
There are hundreds of accounts that, whether it was spiritual power or what,any matter he intervened in, no matter how controversial, complex it was, how the circumstances were, how influential the opponents were, he always stood like an unshakeable mountain ,what come may ,till the matter settled as just and justified.
It is known that he has been a great horse-rider during young age. His eyes often moves into tears when talking about ancestors, and gives great respects to sayings of figures of lineage from whom he inherited the fortunes of Sufism and all.
One Account confirming his respects to saying of his ancestors is: From account of a person: In mid fifty's when Hazrat was on a visit of Rajouri with his father a great spiritual personality Hazrat Mian Nizam Din Laarvi, at that time person who expresses the account was in jail, and there were thousands of people gathered to meet their two Hazrats, that person's wife went to Hz. Nizam Din saying of her husband laying in jail. Hazrat Mian Bashir was sitting beside his father and father said to his son, "Bashir take care of my this daughter". After that, time came and passed by, that person came out of jail, and continued to remain a face in crowd. That person says after around five decades he visited Hazrat in Jammu and Hazrat asked him:"How is my sister?" then Hazrat explained of why he called her "sister", recalling the whole event
This is his mindfulness that he is always surrounded by masses and each conceives that Hazrat loves him the most.
At his residence (Srinagar in summer) and (Jammu in winter) .His hospitality can be imagined from that: always hundreds of people use to be present there, came from various walk of life with different purposes and Hazrat takes meal after the person responsible for that comes and reports that each and every guest has taken his/her meal.
He was awarded Padma Bhushan, the third highest civilian award, by the government of India on 26th jan 2008 for his contribution to the society.
