**Published Papers**
Around 250 scientific papers on physics of elementary particles. Papers on scientific and educational policies for developing countries and Pakistan.

**Scientific Contributions**

Research in the physics of elementary particles, particular contributions:
1. Two-component neutrino theory and the prediction of the inevitable parity violation in weak interaction;
2. Gauge unification of weak and electromagnetic interactions - the unified force is called the "Electroweak" force - a name given to it by Salam; predicted existence of weak neutral currents and W,Z. particles before their experimental discovery;
3. Symmetry properties of elementary particles; unitary symmetry;
4. Renormalization of meson theories;
5. Gravity theory and its role in particle physics; two tensor theory of gravity and strong interaction physics;
6. Unification of electroweak with strong nuclear forces, grand (elec- tro-nuclear) unification; and
7. related prediction of proton-decay;
8. Super symmetry theory, in particular formulation of super space and formalism of super fields.
