The attempts by the British to inculcate modernism in Indian societies was taken up by the Muslims as a political and cultural challenge. Unlike the Muslim ideologues such as Sir Syed Ahmad Khan (1817-18), who launched Aligarh Movement adopting progressive and loyalist approach, the exponent Deoband Movement showed militant resistance towards British imperialism and by sticking to their religious dogmas attempted to reform the society along with orthodox lines. Yet, they afterwards modernized their educational institutions which appeared to be one of the dominant set of Islam and made seminary second largest religious educational institution in the Muslim World.

When, in May 1940, Leo Amery was appointed by Winston Churchill as Secretary of State for India, an already difficult assignment had been made more challenging by the demands of war. This thesis evaluates the extent to which Amery’s ultimate failure to move India towards self-government was due to factors beyond his control, or derived from his personal shortcomings and errors of judgment. Although there has to be some analysis of politics in wartime India, the study is primarily of Amery’s attempts at managing an increasingly insurgent dependency, entirely from his metropolitan base.

  • An Appraisal of Ubaid-Allah Sindhi's Mahabharat Sarvrajia Party And
    Journal of Political Studies, Vol.20, Issue - 1, 2013, 159:177 A Voice from the Margins: An Appraisal of Ubaid-Allah Sindhi’s Mahabharat Sarvrajia Party and its Constitution Tanvir Anjum♣ Abstract Ubaid-Allah Sindhi is among those very few political thinkers and activists of the twentieth-century India who were initially associated with the traditional theological seminaries but their political vision was marked by liberalism and open- mindedness. He established a non-communal political party— Mahabharat Sarvrajia Party in 1924 in order to translate his political ideals into practice. The Party Constitution envisaged the idea of a unique form of confederal form of government for the country. It also presented an outline of a socio-economic order which was derived from a reconciliation of Socialist ideals with the Quran and Shah Wali-Allahi thought. However, he is among one of the least understood and often misinterpreted Muslim thinkers of India. Thus, there is a need to appreciate and reevaluate the political modernism in his thought and vision. Key-words: Ubaid-Allah Sindhi, Mahabharat Sarvrajia Party, The Constitution of the Federated Republics of India, Confederalism, Socialism Ubaid-Allah Sindhi (1872-1944) of Deoband School is among those very few political thinkers and activists who were trained in traditional madrassahs or theological seminaries, but had a thorough understanding of their contemporary political and economic ideologies, and were endowed with a deep vision and tremendous political foresight. Unlike most of his fellow ulama or scholars and political leaders of Deoband School, he was receptive to modernism, though in a selective manner. It is for this very reason that he has been hailed as ‘the most broad-minded Muslim scholar of South Asia after Shah Wali-Allah of Delhi’ by Said Ahmad Akbarabadi, an illustrious pupil of Sindhi and a renowned scholar of Islam (see introduction in Aslam, n.d., p.

Though India has a rich past and at the height of its glory she was one of the most advanced nations of the world yet with the passage of time her glory faded. Not only this but due to internal disunity the invaders could rale over India for centuries together. History is a witness that even at the darkest period of her history Indians continued their struggle for independence in one way for the other and did not agree to accept the fate to which they had been so unfortunately placed. Out modern Indian political thought Practically began with Gokhale who can be called the pioneer of our national movement and subsequently India produced very many political thinkers who continued their struggle against British Imperialism both under the flag of Indian National Congress and even outside that.

Dissertations - ALL. 1027. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/1027 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Situated between early instances of economic migration from Punjab in the 1920s and the disintegration of the Labour Movement in the 1980s, this dissertation examines the political and social formation of Punjabis in twentieth century Britain. This project offers a discursive corrective to analyses of the British working-class that exclude or ignore the presence of thousands of nonwhite workers that came to the United Kingdom during that period and offers an assessment of the multiracial constitution of the British working-class and labour movement. As a contribution to South Asian history, this dissertation pursues a deterritorialized study of South Asian and Punjabi history -- as a history of people rather than a place. By bridging the historiographical divide of partition and independence, this project explores the significant interplay between the histories and struggles of host and home societies. These struggles were often mutually reinforcing for migrants, who, because they exist at the interstices of both societies, were mobilized by events near and far.

  • Role of the Muslim League in Indian Politics from 1940-47
    ROLE OF THE MUSLIM LEAGUE IN INDIAN POLITICS FROM 1940-47 ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD DF THE DEGREE OF Bottor of $l)iIos;opI|P IN Political Science BY HAKIMUDDIN 1 ^ Under the Supervision of Prof. SHAN MOHAMMAD DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAU SCIENCE ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1990 I ROLE OF THE MUSLIM LEAGUE IN INDIAN POLITICS FROM 1940-47 ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD DF THE DEGREE OF Bottor of ^diloieiopl^p IN Political Science Br HAKIMUDDIN Under the Supervision of Prof. SHAN MOHAMMAD ^)^^b DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1990 ABSTRACT The present thesis is an attempt to study the role and attitude of the Muslim League in Indian Poli­ tics from 1940 to 1947, Since the inception of the All-India Muslim League in December 1906 at Dacca cor­ dial relations existed between the Leagu^e and the Congress and it was only in 1929-30 that they parted company because of the non-settlement of the conmunal problem. At all stages the League endeavoured to make the Congress realise Muslim aspirations and grievances and at every step the Congress failed to see that the League was a representative body of the Muslims and a major factor in Indian politics which could not be ignored. My researches have led me to the conclusion that had the Congress taken the communal problem seriou­ sly, Lahore resoluti(»:i and finally the Partition would not have taken place. The period between 1922 to 1926 had witnessed the rise of coramunalism, which uprooted the brotherly relations between the Muslim League and the Congress.
