Identity: the queue line's bearer is the Pune-born director of the National School of Drama (1925–2020), styled Ibrahim Hamad al-Qadi in Arabic. Existence checks by name fragments (alkazi) and by QID across data/person on origin/main found no prior record. The queue's years (1925–2020) are confirmed to the day. Relations written: died_in Delhi only — Pune has no place entity, and his children Amal Allana and Feisal Alkazi have no person records, so no family edge is written; his founding and directorship of institutions are offices, never relations.",
