Hanif of Mayur Vihar in East Delhi was promising since childhood. At the age of 7, the shadow of the father arose from his head, but mother Hema Aziz never let the father fall short. During his graduation from Shivaji College, Delhi, Hanifuddin won the title of Mr. Shivaji for his multidisciplinary talent. Received a commission in the Indian Army on 7 June 1997, and exactly 2 years later, on 7 June 1999, Virgati received the same fight as the enemies of Veer Shivaji in the Turtuk sector of Kargil.
Martyr Captain Haneef's younger brother and a teacher by profession, Nafees, almost 20 years old, feels proud by remembering that moment. Nafees states that Hanif was a very passionate and charming person. Had he not been in the army, he would have been a great musician. Mother Hema Aziz is a Hindustani classical singer. It also had an impact on Hanif. He formed a jaw band while being posted in Rajputana Rifle. Kargil used to sing songs to his fellow soldiers in the deserted plains.
Nafees reported that Nani was a freedom fighter. Hanif was very impressed with his grandmother and he used to write letters to Nani continuously about the activities of Kargil before Veeragati was received. During the Kargil War, he continued to move on the peaks of Kargil covered with snow sheets, even after the weapon was exhausted. He fought enemies until his last breath. After winning the Kargil War, the Indian Army has named the Turfuk sector of Kargil as Hanifuddin Sub Sector.
The road and school are named after him in the memory of the martyr Captain Hanifuddin in Mayur Vihar Phase-1, East Delhi. Bhai Nafees said that he has opened a school for poor children in Kullu in the year 2000 in the name of Captain Hanifuddin.
