Originating from Shikarpur in Sindh, his sister Husn Afroze was married to veteran politician Qaim Ali Shah, but died of breast cancer in 1971. He was the first partner, and mentor of famous Indian lawyer Ram Jethmalani as acknowledged in his authorized biography. He also served as the High Commissioner of Pakistan in India from 1 February 1960 to 31 March 1961. He was a scholar and author affiliated with the Traditionalist School of metaphysics (more precisely René Guénon, Frithjof Schuon and Martin Lings). These thinkers and Brohi's admiration of Sufism formed the basis for this series of essays.
