The AIML was founded on December 30, 1906 at Dhaka under the dynamic leadership of Nawab Salimullah Khan who hosted the Mohammadan Educational Conference session at his house and the last day of this conference was devoted to deliberations which resulted in the establishment of All India Muslim League, not only as the premier organization of the Muslims of South Asia but a party which later under the guidance of Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah became responsible for the establishment of Pakistan on August 14, 1947. In order to pay tribute to the services of this great organization the National Institute of Historical and Cultural Research, Centre of Excellence, Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad organized four-day International Conference on the All India Muslim League, Islamabad, December 19-22, 2006 in which more than 400 persons participated. Not only from all parts of Pakistan, but scholars from different countries, such as U.K., USA, Bangladesh participated and presented their papers. This conference was inaugurated by Prime Minister of Pakistan Mr. Shaukat Aziz and the concluding session was held at Aiwan-i- Sadar, Islamabad which was addressed by Gen. Pervez Musharraf, the then President of Pakistan. Various other activities were also arranged by the NIHCR including publication of research papers, books and articles on the AIML and the War of Independence of 1857-58. These activities were held in cooperation with the National Centenary Committee headed by Prime Minister, Mr. Shaukat Aziz. Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayed was the Secretary-General of this Committee while Dr. Ghazanfar Mehdi, the then Media viii Leaders of Pakistan Movement, Vol.I Consultant, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Islamabad extended his full help as Coordinator. I am thankful to all of them for their cooperation. Finally, a two-day International Conference on Leaders of Pakistan Movement had been organized by the NIHCR Islamabad, on April 7-8, 2008 as the last activity in connection with the All India Muslim League Centenary Celebrations. The purpose of their publication is to generate debate, so as to arouse serious discussion for the advancement of serious research. The NIHCR had also been trying to publish other works in this connection, so that availability of material on the AIML is made available to scholars, researchers and students. I appreciate the efforts of Dr. Syed Umar Hayat and Dr. Sajid Mahmood Awan in bringing out the well edited volumes of the conference papers as good gesture. I pray for their success in future. I am also grateful to all the employees and Research Scholars of NIHCR who have been associated and helpful in arranging the mega events of the Muslim League Century Celebrations and other Conferences. Islamabad (Prof. Dr. Riaz Ahmad) April 23, 2018 Former Director, NIHCR Foreword Dr. Umar Hayat, Director NIHCR has marked his achievement of obtaining the Ph. D. degree with a comparable achievement of bringing out the long awaited volume on the Leaders of Pakistan Movement soon after being awarded the equally long awaited Ph. D. The Muslim league, being the lead organization in the creation of Pakistan, deserved all the attention it got at its centenary, and should have had more research dedicated to it. The plan to link the Muslim League centenary celebrations to the Leaders of the Pakistan Movement was an inspiration of Dr. Riaz, my predecessor as Director NIHCR. The credit of the present book must, therefore, be shared between him and my successor, Dr. Umar Hayat. It was merely an act of fate that I had the opportunity to organize the conference on the subject; perhaps the first institutional activity that I organized. Although, in that sense I was essentially an observer to the unfolding of an activity which I had not actively sponsored, it happened that the event was very closely linked to what I had wished to promote at the NIHCR. As a student of pre-modern times, my knowledge about the Pakistan Movement was not likely to be superior to that of a novice researcher in that field. Nonetheless I had always felt that the role of minor actors, local practitioners and leaders from what is now Pakistan were less known than those of All India fame. Similarly, the contributions of communities which formed the Pakistani population at the time of partition and continue to be its majority today, were under-researched and known only to the select few who could remember the events as eyewitnesses. It was, therefore, a great pleasure to see that almost the entire community participating in the conference had focussed on the issues that I had so dearly wished to see from the academic circles of Pakistani Historians of the Pakistan Movement. x Leaders of Pakistan Movement, Vol.I Having failed to bring out the proceedings during my tenure which lasted for three years after the conference, I can only acknowledge my failure. I suppose I must also accept the responsibility of deserting the NIHCR at an extremely delicate stage after the eighteenth amendment; because of which my successors in the last several years have faced troubled times. It is to be appreciated that two senior researchers of the NIHCR, Dr. Sajid Awan and Dr. Umar Hayat have collaborated in bringing out this invaluable publication. With a great sense of pride, I congratulate them on this excellent initiative and wish that they and the NIHCR [under their leadership] continue such useful activities to fulfil the mandate of this premier institution for historical research. Prof. Dr. Khurram Qadir Former Director, NIHCR April 28, 2018 Introduction An International Conference was organized on the topic “Leaders of Pakistan Movement”, by the National Institute of Historical and Cultural Research (NIHCR) on April 7-8, 2008.

    lives of the women Volume 1 On Stage/ Off Stage Edited by Jerry Pinto Sophia Institute of Social Communications Media Supported by the Laura and Luigi Dallapiccola Foundation Published by the Sophia Institute of Social Communications Media, Sophia Shree B K Somani Memorial Polytechnic, Bhulabhai Desai Road, Mumbai 400 026 All rights reserved Designed by Rohan Gupta be.net/rohangupta Printed by Aniruddh Arts, Mumbai Contents Preface i Acknowledgments iii Shanta Gokhale 1 Nadira Babbar 39 Jhelum Paranjape 67 Dolly Thakore 91 Preface We’ve heard it said that a woman’s work is never done. What they do not say is that women’s lives are also largely unrecorded. Women, and the work they do, slip through memory’s net leaving large gaps in our collective consciousness about challenges faced and mastered, discoveries made and celebrated, collaborations forged and valued. Combating this pervasive amnesia is not an easy task. This book is a beginning in another direction, an attempt to try and construct the professional lives of four of Mumbai’s women (where the discussion has ventured into the personal lives of these women, it has only been in relation to the professional or to their public images). And who better to attempt this construction than young people on the verge of building their own professional lives? In learning about the lives of inspiring professionals, we hoped our students would learn about navigating a world they were about to enter and also perhaps have an opportunity to reflect a little and learn about themselves. So four groups of students of the post-graduate diploma in Social Communications Media, SCMSophia’s class of 2014 set out to choose the women whose lives they wanted to follow and then went out to create stereoscopic views of them.

  • 'Spaces of Exception: Statelessness and the Experience of Prejudice'
    London School of Economics and Political Science HISTORIES OF DISPLACEMENT AND THE CREATION OF POLITICAL SPACE: ‘STATELESSNESS’ AND CITIZENSHIP IN BANGLADESH Victoria Redclift Submitted to the Department of Sociology, LSE, for the degree of PhD, London, July 2011. Victoria Redclift 21/03/2012 For Pappu 2 Victoria Redclift 21/03/2012 Declaration I confirm that the following thesis, presented for examination for the degree of PhD at the London School of Economics and Political Science, is entirely my own work, other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without the prior written consent of the author. I warrant that this authorization does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. ____________________ ____________________ Victoria Redclift Date 3 Victoria Redclift 21/03/2012 Abstract In May 2008, at the High Court of Bangladesh, a ‘community’ that has been ‘stateless’ for over thirty five years were finally granted citizenship. Empirical research with this ‘community’ as it negotiates the lines drawn between legal status and statelessness captures an important historical moment. It represents a critical evaluation of the way ‘political space’ is contested at the local level and what this reveals about the nature and boundaries of citizenship. The thesis argues that in certain transition states the construction and contestation of citizenship is more complicated than often discussed. The ‘crafting’ of citizenship since the colonial period has left an indelible mark, and in the specificity of Bangladesh’s historical imagination, access to, and understandings of, citizenship are socially and spatially produced.

  • Community, Nation and Politics in Colonial Bihar (1920-47)
    www.ijcrt.org © 2020 IJCRT | Volume 8, Issue 10 October 2020 | ISSN: 2320-2882 COMMUNITY, NATION AND POLITICS IN COLONIAL BIHAR (1920-47) Md Masoom Alam, PhD, JNU Abstract The paper is an attempt to explore, primarily, the nationalist Muslims and their activities in Bihar, since 1937 till 1947. The work, by and large, will discuss the Muslim personalities and institutions which were essentially against the Muslim League and its ideology. This paper will be elaborating many issues related to the Muslims of Bihar during 1920s, 1930s and 1940s such as the Muslim organizations’ and personalities’ fight for the nation and against the League, their contribution in bridging the gulf between Hindus and Muslims and bringing communal harmony in Bihar and others. Moreover, apart from this, the paper will be focusing upon the three core issues of the era, the 1946 elections, the growth of communalism and the exodus of the Bihari Muslims to Dhaka following the elections. The paper seems quite interesting in terms of exploring some of the less or underexplored themes and sub-themes on colonial Bihar and will certainly be a great contribution to the academia. Therefore, surely, it will get its due attention as other provinces of colonial India such as U. P., Bengal, and Punjab. Introduction Most of the writings on India’s partition are mainly focused on the three provinces of British India namely Punjab, Bengal and U. P. Based on these provinces, the writings on the idea of partition and separatism has been generalized with the misperception that partition was essentially a Muslim affair rather a Muslim League affair.

NIEMEIJER THE HAGUE - MAR TINUS NIJHOFF 1972 I.S.B.N.90.247.1334.X PREFACE The first incentive to write this book originated from a post-graduate course in Asian history which the University of Amsterdam organized in 1966. I am happy to acknowledge that the university where I received my training in the period from 1933 to 1940 also provided the stimulus for its final completion. I am greatly indebted to the personal interest taken in my studies by professor Dr. W. F. Wertheim and Dr. J. M. Pluvier. Without their encouragement, their critical observations and their advice the result would certainly have been of less value than it may be now. The same applies to Mrs. Dr. S. C. L. Vreede-de Stuers, who was prevented only by ill-health from playing a more active role in the last phase of preparation of this thesis. I am also grateful to professor Dr. G. F. Pijper who was kind enough to read the second chapter of my book and gave me valuable advice. Beside this personal and scholarly help I am indebted for assistance of a more technical character to the staff of the India Office Library and the India Office Records, and also to the staff of the Public Record Office, who were invariably kind and helpful in guiding a foreigner through the intricacies of their libraries and archives.

  • Rethinking Majlis' Politics: Pre-1948 Muslim Concerns in Hyderabad State
    Rethinking Majlis’ politics: Pre-1948 Muslim concerns in Hyderabad State M. A. Moid and A. Suneetha Anveshi Research Centre for Women’s Studies, Hyderabad In the historiography of Hyderabad State, pre-1948 Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (Majlis) figures as a separatist, communal and fanatical political formation. For the nationalist, Hindu and left politics in this region, Majlis has long stood for the ‘other’, wherein concerns articu- lated by it get discredited. In this article, we argue that there is a need to rethink the Majlis’ political perspective and its articulation of Muslim concerns by placing them in the context of the momentous political developments in the first half of the twentieth century. Caught between the imminent decline of the Asaf Jahi kingdom and the arrival of democratic politics, the Majlis saw the necessity of popular will but also the dangers of majoritarianism during such transitions and fought against the threat of imminent minoritisation of Muslims in the Hyderabad State. This article draws on the Urdu writings on the Majlis and Bahadur Yar Jung’s speeches that have been rarely used in Telugu or English writings on this period. Keywords: Muslim politics in Hyderabad State, Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, Deccani nationalism, Bahadur Yar Jung, democratic politics in Hyderabad State Introduction Writing the history or discussing the politics of Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (Majlis, hereafter) of the 1940s is beset with problems of perspective that arise out of that very history. Between 1930 and 1948, Hyderabad State underwent complex and rapid changes: a shift in the communal profile of the state, which led to the polarisation of Hindus and Muslims; the transformation of local struggles for civil liberties and political reforms into a nationalist struggle, backed by the Indian army in the border districts from 1947; the peasant revolt against the feudal hierarchy in rural Telangana and its armed struggle against the Nizam’s government; and most Acknowledgements: We would like to thank Gita Ramaswamy, Shefali Jha, R.
