  • Zay Khay Sheen, Aligarh's Purdah-Nashin Poet
    1 Zay Khay Sheen, Aligarh’s Purdah-Nashin Poet Gail Minault* Zay Khay Sheen, or Zahida Khatun Sherwani (1894-1922),1 was the younger daughter of Nawab Sir Muzammilullah Khan Sherwani, Rais of Bhikampur in the Aligarh district of North India.2 Sir Muzammilullah (1865-1938) was an important figure in the Aligarh movement. A follower of Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan, he was a leading member of the Board of Trustees of Aligarh College, a champion of turning Aligarh College into a University, and politically loyal to the British connection. He was also a skillful poet in Persian, and had a string of alphabetical honors following his title as Khan Bahadur: LLD, KCIE, OBE, etc.3 The Sherwani clan of Aligarh district was distinguished in educational circles and produced a number of important figures, Habibur Rahman Khan Sherwani, Nawab Habib Yar Jung, was an Islamic scholar and an official in Hyderabad. Harun Khan Sherwani was a well-known historian of the Deccan (his wife is the biographer of Z-Kh-Sh). The clan had two main branches, the lineage of Bhikampur and that of Datauli, and practiced cousin marriage to an almost exclusive degree. The family tree presents a bewildering array of interlocking relationships.4 1* Gail Minault is a Professor of History and Asian Studies at the University of Texas, Austin, Texas, USA. There are two basic sources about Z-Kh-Sh, a biography written by her cousin: Anisa Harun Begam Sherwani, Hayat-i-Z-Kh-Sh (Hyderabad: Privately Published, 1954); and her collected poems: Z-Kh-Sh [Zahida Khatun Sherwani], Firdaus-i-Takhayyul (Lahore: Dar ul Isha’iat-i-Punjab, 1941).

  • Picture of Muslim Politics in India Before Wavell's
    Muhammad Iqbal Chawala PICTURE OF MUSLIM POLITICS IN INDIA BEFORE WAVELL’S VICEROYALTY The Hindu-Muslim conflict in India had entered its final phase in the 1940’s. The Muslim League, on the basis of the Two-Nation Theory, had been demanding a separate homeland for the Muslims of India. The movement for Pakistan was getting into full steam at the time of Wavell’s arrival to India in October 1943 although it was opposed by an influential section of the Muslims. This paper examines the Muslim politics in India and also highlights the background of their demand for a separate homeland. It analyzes the nature, programme and leadership of the leading Muslim political parties in India. It also highlights their aims and objectives for gaining an understanding of their future behaviour. Additionally, it discusses the origin and evolution of the British policy in India, with special reference to the Muslim problem. Moreover, it tries to understand whether Wavell’s experiences in India, first as a soldier and then as the Commander-in-Chief, proved helpful to him in understanding the mood of the Muslim political scene in India. British Policy in India Wavell was appointed as the Viceroy of India upon the retirement of Lord Linlithgow in October 1943. He was no stranger to India having served here on two previous occasions. His first-ever posting in India was at Ambala in 1903 and his unit moved to the NWFP in 1904 as fears mounted of a war with 75 76 [J.R.S.P., Vol. 45, No. 1, 2008] Russia.1 His stay in the Frontier province left deep and lasting impressions on him.

  • Muslim Urban Politics in Colonial Punjab: Majlis-I-Ahrar's Early Activism
    235 Samina Awan: Muslim Urban Politics Muslim Urban Politics in Colonial Punjab: Majlis-i-Ahrar’s Early Activism Samina Awan Allama Iqbal Open University, Pakistan ________________________________________________________________ The British annexed Punjab in 1849, and established a new system of administration in form and spirit. They also introduced western education, canal colonies and a modern system of transportation, which had its impact on the urban population. In rural Punjab they collaborated with the landlords and feudal elite to get their support in strengthening the province as ‘grain basket’ for the British Army. The Majlis-i-Ahrar-i-Islam(hereafter MAI) was an urban Muslim organisation, comprised of ex-Khilafatists, trained in agitational politics during the period 1919-1929, many of whom were ex-Congrssites. Ahrar leaders split with the INC over the issue of the Nehru Report in 1929. Soon after the formation of the new party, they decided to participate in INC-led civil disobedience movement of 1930 and were interred in large numbers. The MAI’s platform was based on a united India, but one, which was free from imperial control, anti-feudal, with less economic disparities and had an Islamic system for the Muslims of India. _______________________________________________________________ Introduction A number of religio-political movements emerged from Punjab during the first half of the twentieth century. A study of the history, politics and social structure of Punjab is necessary in order to understand these movements. The Majlis-i- Ahrar-i-Islam (MAI) was founded in 1929 in Lahore, and reflected a unique blend of religion and politics in the multi-cultural province of Punjab in British India.

  • The Kashmir Case: How Not to Handle a Conflict
    THE KASHMIR CASE: HOW NOT TO HANDLE A CONFLICT Dr. Aman Hingorani* I. Introduction A discussion was held on 21 December 2019 at the prestigious Army War College at Mhow on The Future Contours of Kashmir: A Whole of Government Approach.1 The opening paragraph of the Approach Paper for the discussion ran as under: In a momentous decision that should mark the beginning of a new chapter in Kashmir’s history, on 5 Aug 2019, the President of India issued the notification to revoke Article 370 and 35A. In one stroke, the state of J&K has transmuted from being disputed territory to undisputed territory, sovereign to India. These lines capture all that has been wrong with New Delhi’s approach to the Kashmir issue since 1947 till date! The erstwhile princely state of Jammu & Kashmir (‘J&K’) became an integral part of India when its sovereign ruler acceded to India on 26 October 1947, and remains an integral part of India. This is not because I say so but because the very principle that created modern day India and Pakistan says so, as will be evident shortly. It is equally true that it was New Delhi which accepted such accession provisionally in 1947 and made it subject to a reference to the people of J&K. In other words, it was New Delhi that gave a ‘disputed territory’ tag to J&K before proceeding to then internationalize the Kashmir issue by taking it to the United Nations Security Council (‘UNSC’) in 1948, commit on the floor of the UNSC to hold a plebiscite in J&K under United Nations (‘UN’) auspices and consequently confer standing upon every member of the UN (including Pakistan) to comment on the happenings in J&K.
