There was great prejudice* suspicion and even hatred against them. The doors of Xucr<ittlve employment and services were closed for them. Insplte of such social climate* U-ie Mixsllms retained their courage and faith and decided to remain in India* firmly resolved to play a decent role In Indian political as well as social and economic life of the country. But there can be no denying that after lnd«»pendence> they had become politically ineffective due to certain causes and they cd»uld not prtissurlse the Government for solving their various problems* which had emerged after Independence and become very important for them. The most important probleiR* wltic^ had affected the ^ole mislim community* was the persistence of the communal riots almost in the whole country. The terrible communal riots in eastern India in 1964* in v^ilch hundreds of Muslims weite slauc^teced* provided the necessary catalyst for the formation of a new* brcadly based confederation of the muiiim organlaatlotie to articulate the grievances of the Muslims and to establish unity and 11 cooperation among the v^^rlous se^ents of the Mual Ims - a comnon Musllin platform for Muslims. The necessity was strongly felt anci» thusr preparations were made in June-July» 1964* under the leadership of Lr, Syed Mahmud* the veteran Congressmant for a Convention of Muslim leaders belonging to all the leading Muslim orgimnlzatlons In Indl«^* which WAS held In Lucknow on Ai^uet 6 nod 9*1964 In the Darul-Uloom Nadwat-ul-Ulenm* the great and famous seminary of Islamic teaching and lenrnlng. The Convention* whlc^ Included representatives of every segment of Muslim opinion* passed a series of resolutions* which enphaslsed Che Muslim a>ncern for their very existence In India In the wake of the terrible riots of thi»it ye?3r* It was seriously thous^t that without unity and cooperation among the various sections of the Muslims* the problems of the Muslims %iould remain unsolved* For this purpose the Convention agreed to establish a permanent organization* to be called the fftisllm MajlIs-e-Mushawerat (Muslim Consultative Committee). The MMM was founded under resolution No. 10 of the Convention and later it was referred In Its Constitution, 'ihe Majlls-e-Mushawamt' and now It Is coiunonly known as the 'Majlls-e-Mushawar^t*. Dr. Syed Mahmud was then elected its President. The present work Is confined to the eanergence and the role of the MMM. The v^ole thesis has been divided ill Into five diapters. The first chapter*Independence and After''deals with the participation of the Musiime in the ereedom struggle Moveoient and the role they played. The second c^iapten 'The Communal Rlot«'» (!H»alB with the comnunal pass ion t v^lch was aggra^mted by Hindu revivalisia and the mis-interpretation of history* and which led to comnunal violence on a large scale* The communal out^brenksf %<hlch took place durii^) the sixties and* and in which mostly f&isliras were the victims created a sense of humiliation and frustration among the v^ole Muslim community and weakened the secular structure of the country. The third chapter* 'Genesis and Hole of the Muslim MaJlis-e-Mu8hawarat'> deals with the necessity of unity and amity among the v^rioiaa Muslim organisations for the existence of the Muslim community in India* This had encouraged them to foxtn a new organization. Secondly* It dealt with the role the newly formed organization played. The fouriOi chapter* 'Aims and organization** deals with the aims and objectives* as well as orgnnizatioc^l setup of the MMM* The last <^apter* 'Conclusion* summarizes the findings. The organizationt which had come into existence with great hopes and expectations for establishing unity and coopera­ tion among the Muslims as well as in providing them a Iv common plntfoxm* fi^lled In Its objectives and could not fulfil Its promises. Neither could It succeed In bringing about pesce and amity between the two major communities nor could It minimise the ^p between the two* In course of timet It became a defunct organization. But the re«4<^on8 for Its failure were too complex and even deep-rooted In Indian history of politics* >i^lle the prt^leras were too Intricate and multl-dimensional for loose minority organization to tackle. Insplte of Its Ineffectiveness* lt» however* playea a prominent role In articulating the demands of the Indian Muslims and urging the Government to solve them. It tried to establish unity among various sections of the Muslim community and helped to create couraye and confidence among the Muslims.

Aligarh Muslim University and the Demand for Minority Status Laurence Gautier 1 Away from Aligarh’s bustling old city, across the railway track which divides the city into “two adjacent towns” (Mann 1992:28), lies the sprawling campus of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU). Bab-e-Syed, a grand gate made of sandstone and marble, acts as the visible frontier between the outside world and the venerable institution. Inside, the sherwanis that some students wear and the cusped arches and domes of older buildings give the campus a distinct mahaul (atmosphere) that further marks it out from the rest of the city.

  • JAYAPRAKASH NARAYAN a Biographical Sketch by Prof.Bimal Prasad
    JAYAPRAKASH NARAYAN A Biographical Sketch by Prof.Bimal Prasad Jayaprakash Narayan (1902-79), popularly known as J.P., occupies a unique position among the galaxy of political leaders produced by India in modern times. He played a major role not merely in the struggle for independence, but also in the foundation and growth of the socialist movement, acquiring a stature in public life next only to that of Jawaharlal Nehru, who had become the nation's helmsman as Prime Minister in 1947. Even though the Socialist Party which J.P. led had not become very large or strong, in view of J.P. 's growing popularity among the masses as well as the elite many, both in India and abroad, began to look upon him as the person most likely to succeed Nehru as Prime Minister. J.P., however, cherished no such ambition. In 1953, he did not accept Nehru's invitation to join his cabinet, thus abandoning an opportunity which would have put him in a position of vantage from the point of view of succession. On the other hand, he identified himself more and more with the non-party Bhoodan (land-gift) movement led by Vinoba Bhave. Seeing in it the seeds of a non- violent social revolution, he publicly dedicated his whole life to it in 1954. Finally in 1957, he announced not merely his resignation from the Praja Socialist Party (the new name of the Socialist Party since its merger with the Kisan Majdoor Praja Party in 1953), but also his complete withdrawal from all party and power politics—admittedly an act of renunciation in view of his position in the public life of the country at that time.

  • Mainstreaming Madrassa Education: a Critical
    MAINSTREAMING MADRASSA EDUCATION: A CRITICAL EXAMINATION ON TRADITIONAL CURRICULUM OF MADRASSAS IN KARNATAKA AND WAYS TO ALIGN THE ISNTITUTIONS ALONG THE MAIN STREAM EDUCATION SYSTEM M. A. Siraj* Edited by Dr Abdul Aziz Chair Professor Chair on Religious Minorities Centre for Study of Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy National Law School of India University (NLSIU) Bengaluru 1 Introduction: That Muslims in India are educationally backward is now a fairly known and established fact. Several committees and commissions set up by the Union and State governments have amply demonstrated that unless some special measures are initiated, the community cannot attain parity in matters of social and economic development with mainstream population. Concern to this effect began to surface during the era of Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi when she announced the 15-point programme for the upliftment of minorities. Later, she had set up a committee to report the situation of the community headed by Dr. Gopal Singh. Still later, she had addressed a special letter to the chief ministers of the states to improve the state of waqf properties and draw plans for their development on commercial lines in order to make them a source of financial support for the ameliorative measures for Muslims. The Sachar Committee appointed by the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh statistically highlighted the educational and economic deprivation suffered by the Muslims in its voluminous report submitted in 2006. What stood out clearly was that illiteracy among general Muslims and deficient attainments among those who are fortunate to receive education, leave the community individuals without the requisite qualifications and skills to gain access to the sources of empowerment in an India on the road to modernisation, urbanisation and industrialisation.

  • India Or Pakistan?.Docx
    India or Pakistan? Muslim Ideas of the Nation in Twentieth-CenturySouth Asia Dr Amar Sohal Lent 2022 Exploring ideas of religion, minority and secularism that helped to found India and Pakistan, this course traces competing visions of a Muslim future during the formative phase of modern Indian political thought. Taking an intellectual history approach to the years prior to, and shortly after, independence and Partition in 1947, it focuses mainly on the ideas of five leading actor-thinkers: the universalist poet-philospher Muhammad Iqbal; the Kashmiri nationalist Sheikh Abdullah; the lawyer-politician Mohammad Ali Jinnah; the Urdu writer and Sunni theologian Abul Kalam Azad; and the nonviolent Pashtun activist Abdul Ghaffar Khan. Students will put the ideas of these five thinkers in dialogue with their equally influential contemporaries; these include the Congress leaders Jawaharlal Nehru and M. K. Gandhi, as well as the father of Hindu nationalism V. D. Savarkar and the Dalit activist B. R. Ambedkar. Elevated to the foremost unit of social organisation by the British colonial state, religion took on a peculiar political meaning as representative government was steadily devolved to Indians over the course of the twentieth century. In short, religion served to name an almost static structural problem between majorities and minorities—both nationally, and in the various regions of this linguistically diverse country. Our set of thinker-politicians, and their interlocutors, confronted this problem in different, creative ways; the implications of which are more than evident in the present-day politics of India and Pakistan. While some thinkers (Muslim, Hindu and Dalit) sought to constitutionalise the division between communities for a peaceful independent future, others associated with secular Indian nationalism tried to offset or even destroy the political importance of religion.

  • Abstract Deconstructing Glimpses of World History
    ABSTRACT DECONSTRUCTING GLIMPSES OF WORLD HISTORY: AN ANALYSIS OF JAWAHARLAL NEHRU'S LETTERS TO HIS DAUGHTER by Michele L Langford This paper deconstructs Jawaharlal Nehru's extensive account of world history in the form of letters to his daughter, Indira. First published in 1934, Glimpses of World History remains an important resource in understanding the formative years of Nehru's perspective of world history and world politics. An analysis of Nehru's text contributes to growing field of scholarship concerned with the uses and approaches to world history. In addition, an analysis of influences on Nehru's construction of world history questions the traditional view that only British perspectives informed Nehru's ideas about the world. In conclusion, this paper suggests that Nehru's world history served as the premise to his key foreign policy initiative, nonalignment, once Nehru became prime minister of India in 1947.

  • A Case Study of Syed Ahmad Khan's Relations with the British
    Journal of Political Studies, Vol. 27, Issue - 1, 2019, 91:105 Strategy of Loyalism: A Case Study of Syed Ahmad Khan’s Relations with the British Farooq Ahmad Dar Abstract Syed Ahmad Khan is considered as a symbol of change. He achieved personal success and had contributed massively towards the development and progress of the Muslims of South Asia. He challenged traditional trends and showed a new path of modernity, through western education, to his community. However, in order to do so, he established friendly relations with the colonial masters, showed them his loyalty and pursued them for support. This paper is an attempt to find out that how much the British patronage helped Syed in achieving his goal and what was the impact of the strategy, he adopted. Keywords: British; Loyalism; Muslims; South Asia; Syed Ahmad Khan Introduction Syed Ahmad Khan is considered as one of the most respected personalities amongst the Muslims of South Asia. He was the pioneer of Muslim renaissance and resurgence as a nation in modern India. He was thinking ahead of his time and was not only ready to challenge the traditional mindset but was also in a position to give the Muslims of India an alternative path, which could resolve their social, economic and political problems and lead them to progress and success in the times to come. His contributions towards the promotion of modern education were enormous and second to none amongst his contemporaries. His dedication for education and his practical investment in the field had a great impact on the future development of the Muslim community in the region.

  • Bihar Muslims' Response to Two Nation Theory 1940-47
    BIHAR MUSLIMS' RESPONSE TO TWO NATION THEORY 1940-47 ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Bortor of IN HISTORY BY MOHAMMAD SAJJAD UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF PROF. RAJ KUNAR TRIVEDI CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTOFflC AUGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2003 ABSTRACT Bihar Muslims' Response to Two Nation Theory 1940-47: The Lahore session (1940) of the Muslim League adopted a resolution in which Muslim majority areas were sought to be grouped as "autonomous and sovereign" , 'independent states". This vaguely worded resolution came to be known as Pakistan resolution. The Muslim League, from its days of foundation (in 1906) to the provincial elections of 1937, underwent many changes. However, after the elections of 1937 its desperation had increased manifold. During the period of the Congress ministry (1937-39), the League succeeded in winning over a sizeable section of the Muslims, more particularly the landed elites and educated middle class Muslims of Muslim minority provinces like U.P. and Bihar. From 1937 onwards, the divide between the two communities went on widening. Through a massive propaganda and tactful mobilizations, the League expanded its base, adopted a divisive resolution at Lahore (1940) and then on kept pushing its agenda which culminated into the partition of India. Nevertheless, the role of imperialism, the role of Hindu majoritarian organizations like the Hindu Mahasabha and tactical failure on the part of the Congress combined with communalization of the lower units of the Congress (notwithstanding the unifying ideals of the Congress working Committee) can not be denied in the partition of the country.
