Well, as a matter of fact, this claim is a reality.


This topic is extremely diverse and is spread over centuries of recorded events. Due to limited space and due relevance, I will restrict my research to pre-partition India and modern-day Pakistan.
Other famous lodges in Rawalpindi were the Stewart Lodge No. 1960 E.C. and the Black Mountain Lodge No. 1256. The former was under British headship and the latter was headed by a Scottish Grand Master. There is not enough information given about the Stewart lodge, but according to a Masonic traveller's blog, one of the previous Grand Masters of the Black Mountain lodge of Rawalpindi was a person by the name of Yogendra Prakash Suri. He had become a member of that lodge in 1946 and has been an active Mason ever since. Yogendra Prakash is currently a member of the Lodge Rock of Gwalior No. 16 in Jhansi, India. But that means even after independence, there were many lodges that were operating in the new homeland of Muslims. [2]




This is what he had to say about his activities in Lahore. The following appeared in the London Times on January 16, 1925:
"I was Secretary for some years of Hope and Perseverance Lodge No. 782, E.C. Lahore which included Brethren of at least four creeds. I was entered by a member of Bramo Somaj, a Hindu; passed by a Mohammedan, and raised by an Englishman. Our Tyler was an Indian Jew. We met, of course, on the level, and the only difference anyone would notice was that at our banquets, some of the Brethren, who were debarred by caste from eating food not ceremonially prepared, sat over empty plates."
Now comes the interesting part. Not only the Freemasons, but their other most important subfaction, otherwise known as the "Royal British Order" known as the "Order of Rosicrucians" also established their centre here in Lahore. But it's control was given to the French offshoot of the organization which was aptly titled "Rosecroix (Rose-Cross) Chapter: The Rose of Lahore No. 28" [4]. Furthermore, what is even most interesting, is that despite being under French headship, the Grand Master of this lodge happened to be Scottish. "Rose-Cross" is a special symbolic meaning used to denote the so-called "fact" that a woman by the name of 'Mary Magdalene' had married Prophet Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) and bore children (Allah forbid). The family who claim to be their descendants are the famous "Sinclair" family of Europe who are also widespread in the U.S. on key positions. Now, this whole "Rose-Cross" phenomenon is based upon "Rosslyn (Rose-Line) Chapel" as mentioned in my previous article, which to this day houses centuries old dead Knights Templars and remains as a permanent symbol of Templar presence in the U.K. Dan Brown had based his "Da Vinci Code" upon these very assumptions.
An interesting point to be noted here is that the Sinclairs have an old history of friendship and close association with the Rothschild banking dynasty. My assumption here is that this is another direct proof that the Rothschilds had bases here in Pakistan before its partition and could most possibly have played direct or indirect influential roles in the Subcontinet's geopolitics.

People from Pakistan are very familiar with the famous NCA (National College of Arts), formerly known as the "Mayo College of Arts". Well, for your information, the first Principal of this historical institution was Lockwood Kipling, who coincidentally happens to be Rudyard Kipling's father. Lockwood Kipling was also at the same time the Curator of the Lahore Museum. This is what Wikipedia has to say:
"European designs in building and furniture and the rise of the furniture firms brought bad times for the Punjabi carpenter (i.e. Lockwood Kipling) once, reputed among the cleverest in the world."
"European designs in building and furniture and the rise of the furniture firms brought bad times for the Punjabi carpenter (i.e. Lockwood Kipling) once, reputed among the cleverest in the world."
Among the notable places wherein artistic/renovatory works were carried out by the institute's workers specifically in Pakistan include:
The Government House (Lahore)
Execution of decorative work including carpets and shamianas of gold thread and repusse metal work and designs for the Law and Oriental Colleges (Lahore)
Design and decorative work in plaster for the new Railway Theatre (Lahore)
A carved console table for Government House (Lahore)
An eight-canon stall for the Lefroy Memorial in Lahore Cantonment’s Church
Lockwood Kipling remained as the Principal between 1875-1894.
Rudyard Kipling had set the backdrop of the Lahore Museum for his novel 'Kim' [5].

Below is the link to a recent video excerpted from the Rogers TV archive. The most notable part of the video is where a specific individual Mr. Kamil Sadiq standing alongside his wife (Pakistani) and British Mason friends proudly and boldly announces (something like): "I feel proud to be the Grand Master of the District Grand Lodge of Pakistan"
Do you know what this means? Tthe video was recorded live in 2007. So that means even at that time, the Freemasons were active in Pakistan. I believe that this person Kamil Sadiq is related to the very same Nazir Bhatti of the Pakistan Christian Congress of whom I have mentioned in detail in my previous article 'Masonic Uprising In Pakistan' and hence is another mastermind behind destabilizing Pakistan. Allah Knows Best!
To Be Continued...
Insha'Allah Part II of this topic will be compiled and uploaded soon.
