Mr. Nasim Yousaf was born in Pakistan. He grew up in the twin city of Rawalpindi-Islamabad. He started his career as a Pilot Officer in the Pakistan Air Force. However, within a few years, he resigned and established his export business in Pakistan. As a result of his hard work and dedication toward his profession, he achieved success at a very young age. While only in his early thirties, he became a member of the Board of Directors of The Pakistan Commercial Exporters of Towels Association (PCETA). He continued to gain valuable experience as he traveled the world in connection with his business endeavors. In the late 1980s, he decided to close down his flourishing business (due to the corrupt climate in Pakistan) and moved to the USA.
Family Background
Mr. Yousaf comes from a legendary family in Pakistan. His grandfather, Allama Mashraqi (a great scholar and founder of the Khaksar Movement), played an extremely important role towards the freedom of India from the British. Mashraqi was an altruistic and humane leader, who fought heroically to lift the masses and attain freedom for India. His most famous work, Tazkirah, is a scientific commentary on the Holy Quran. Mashraqi's death was widely mourned and well over 100,000 people, from all walks of life, attended his funeral.
Mr. Yousaf's uncle, Dr. Akhter Hameed Khan, was a world-renowned Social Scientist. He started the Pakistan Academy for Rural Development (now the Bangladesh Academy for Rural Development) in Comilla. He was also founder of the Orangi Pilot Project in Pakistan. Both are world famous projects. Dr. Khan earned many prestigious civil awards for his selfless services and dedication to the Pakistani nation. Dr. Khan was also a visiting professor at many universities, including Harvard and Princeton Universities in the USA.
Mr. Nasim Yousaf's father, Muhammad Yousaf Khan, was the eldest son of Raja Alam Din. Muhammad Yousaf Khan obtained his Commission from Dehradun Military Academy (India). Muhammad Yousaf Khan died at a very young age.

Author
Mr. Yousaf as an author is indeed different from many other writers. He has written books on two entirely different subjects:
- Academic & Scholarly
- Import & Export
For his academic and scholarly works, he has incorporated knowledge acquired from being a part of a political family as well as information from his extensive research on British India's freedom. His works focus primarily on Allama Mashraqi and the Khaksar Tehreek 's role in the independence of Pakistan and India. Mr. Yousaf has also written a biography on Allama Mashraqi and Dr. Akhtar Hameed Khan.
Mr. Yousaf's books on import and export are a result of his far-reaching knowledge on international business, which he acquired through his association with trade as well as his extensive travel around the world. His works are reference resources, particularly helpful for people who are new to the import/export business. The books are not generic guides on starting an import or export business, but rather aim to help an individual get started right away in a specific line of business. This differentiates his books from other resources on the subject.

His Views
He believes that the creation of Pakistan was a political game and was never meant to lift the masses. According to him, if this was not true, we would have seen concrete steps taken towards Pakistan's creation right from the beginning. Furthermore, there would not have been a struggle for power following the creation of Pakistan.
