Aziz, Mushir-ul-Hassan, i\1. Mujeeb, W.W. Hunter, Peter Hardy and Khaliquzzaman. A stody, however on rnuslim leadership in U.P. (1906-1937) has not been dealt with separa­ tely so far, Hencethis topic has been chosen to highlight the various aspects such as their aims, their rise to power, their working pattern and their contribution. In order to facilitate the description of the study, the work has been divided, covering the above mentioned oeriod into four parts, viz. 1906-1916 (Part I), 1917-1923 (Part II), 1924- 1929 (Part III) and 1930 - 1937 (Part IV). The main criteria of this division is the change which took place in various aspe­ cts of rnuslim politics in 1906, 1916, 1923, 1930 and 1937. These years are the turning points in rnuslim politics in U.P. as well as in India. One may see many changes in muslim politics during these years. Nature, aim and working pattern of leadership got changed, completely or partly, in these years. In introduction a brief history of the advent of Islam in India has been given. Nature, tendencies, thought and beliefs of these new-comers from central Asia are the main points oE study in this chapter. The process of their intermingling with the then Indian society has also been discussed. Difinitions and standards of leadership have also been discussed in Introduction. ii In the first chapter, the circumstances and policies of muslim leaders who brought the birth of muslim league has been discussed. The oolicies and attitude of Muslim League towards BritisH government and Indian National Congress has also been studied in this chapter. The struggle for leadership bet­ ween 'young party' and 'old party' (two groups of muslims popu­ larly denoted as) also has been explained in this chapter. In chapter second the politics between 1917 to 1923 has been assessed. Young party became victorious and snatched the leadership from old party. A new class of leadership comes on the scene. This was the Ulama. This was the class who dominated the muslim politics of this phase. Chapter third deals with the policies and attitude of muslims of U.P. towards the Swarajists, Nehru report and Simon commission. We see that the politics and leadership of muslims were scattered durino these years. Chapter fourth deals with the muslim politics between 1930-37. Muslims attitude towards Gandhi's civil disobedience movement, Round Table Conference and communal awards has been studied in this chapter. One of the main point of this phase is the government of India Act 1935. Safe-guards for the muslims was the main principle of the Act. weightage and reservations of seats provided in the act reflects the British policy of wining goodwill of the muslim community. The Provincial Legislative Election of 1935 in U.P, is the main point of study of this chapter. Congress was the victorious party in U.P, and ministry Ill was formed by G.3. Pant, But Muslim leaders adopted a policy of attack on the congress. Thus, ^s far as I hope, this work will be an interesting and important addition to the studies on National movement in India. For the muslims in general and specially in U.P. have played a pivotal role in the national movement. The analysis of motives, characteristics and pattern of working of these muslim leaders is of qreat interest to a student of Indian History. I have utilised possibly all available sources of information. I oay my grateful thanks in this connection to the authorities of Sayaji Rao Hayakwad library R.H.I^., Lytlon Librr:>ry A.f.U., National Archieves, F-.'ew Delhi, National Library ,Calcuttf:,, American Institute library Ramnagar, Library of Ramnagar fort, Gandhian Institute Rajghat and Nagari Pracharini Shabha, Varannsi, for their generous help extended to me.

INTRODUCTION SSSSSStSCSSSSSCESSESSSSSBSISSS&SSSSSStSSSSSCISSSSSSSrSSSSSC Right from the early beginning of the History of the Human being,'Leadership* has played an important role to guide the so'ciety. Society without a leader will be a boat without rudder. Leadership is an ability to dominate the stream of thought of society. Either it may be good or bad, society has to bear the results. Leadership also has to bear so. It seems that the games between leaders and suppor­ ters are the main job of our world. Teachers, Saints, family heads, and political leaders use their art of leadership to show a better path to society. But in some cases selfishness enters into leadership and tries to take the society towards the hell. Now, in the modern democratic age it is easy to a common man to follow his own leaders, and practice his own reasonable thoughts. Leadership is a concept applied to the personality, environment relation to describe the situation when a perso­ nality is so placed in the environment that his will, feeling and insight directs and controls others in pursuit of common cause. According to Lapiere and Fransworth - Leadership is behaviour that affects the behaviour of other people more than their behaviour affects that of the leader.^ What is popula­ rly called leadership is more accurately to be discussed in terms of dominance/^ Leadership is a foundation on which the super-structure of society is based. After the entry of Islam in India, in 8th century A.D., Muslims have been the prominent figure of Indian political history. Thife interaction between the Hindustani and Islamic culture also have taken an important place in our history. The revival or changes in the fields of culture, religion, education, economy and even in daily life style, always take place through the movements of the leaders. How the leadership of the Muslim community has led the Society is the question here. Contribution and partici­ pation of the Muslim leadership will be very clear after the assessment of the events of our history and the role of Muslim leaders. A real leader is one, who is able to (i) arrive at a correct diagnosis of the ills of a group, community or people, (ii) make a realistic assessment of their aspirations, (iii) think of effective remedial measures, (iv) frame a workable and practical programme (v) get it whole hartedly accepted by his followers and (vi) lead them successfully to implement, the programme, remove their difficulties and make them reach the objective.^ But one may say that unfortunately Indian Muslims have not been able to produce many such eminent leaders, who may have been able to analyse the distress of muslims and achieve at least some measure of success in removing even part of their difficulties.

  • Role of the Muslim Anjumans for the Promotion of Education in the Colonial Punjab: a Historical Analysis
    Bulletin of Education and Research December 2019, Vol. 41, No. 3 pp. 1-18 Role of the Muslim Anjumans for the Promotion of Education in the Colonial Punjab: A Historical Analysis Maqbool Ahmad Awan* __________________________________________________________________ Abstract This article highlightsthe vibrant role of the Muslim Anjumans in activating the educational revival in the colonial Punjab. The latter half of the 19th century, particularly the decade 1880- 1890, witnessed the birth of several Muslim Anjumans (societies) in the Punjab province. These were, in fact, a product of growing political consciousness and desire for collective efforts for the community-betterment. The Muslims, in other provinces, were lagging behind in education and other avenues of material prosperity. Their social conditions were also far from being satisfactory. Religion too had become a collection of rites and superstitions and an obstacle for their educational progress. During the same period, they also faced a grievous threat from the increasing proselytizing activities of the Christian Missionary societies and the growing economic prosperity of the Hindus who by virtue of their advancement in education, commerce and public services, were emerging as a dominant community in the province. The Anjumans rescued the Muslim youth from the verge of what then seemed imminent doom of ignorance by establishing schools and madrassas in almost all cities of the Punjab. The focus of these Anjumans was on both secular and religious education, which was advocated equally for both genders. Their trained scholars confronted the anti-Islamic activities of the Christian missionaries. The educational development of the Muslims in the Colonial Punjab owes much to these Anjumans.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Senior Theses by an authorized administrator of Lake Forest College Publications. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Sikhism Reinterpreted: The rC eation of Sikh Identity Abstract The iS kh identity has been misinterpreted and redefined amidst the contemporary political inclinations of elitist Sikh organizations and the British census, which caused the revival and alteration of Sikh history. This thesis serves as a historical timeline of Punjab’s religious transitions, first identifying Sikhism’s emergence and pluralism among Bhakti Hinduism and Chishti Sufism, then analyzing the effects of Sikhism’s conduct codes in favor of militancy following the human Guruship’s termination, and finally recognizing the identity-driven politics of colonialism that led to the partition of Punjabi land and identity in 1947. Contemporary practices of ritualism within Hinduism, Chishti Sufism, and Sikhism were also explored through research at the Golden Temple, Gurudwara Tapiana Sahib Bhagat Namdevji, and Haider Shaikh dargah, which were found to share identical features of Punjabi religious worship tradition that dated back to their origins.

  • Punjab Muslim Students Federation and Pakistan Movement
    Pakistan Perspectives Vol. 18, No.2, July-December 2013 Punjab Muslim Students Federation and Pakistan Movement Naumana Kiran* Abstract National movements need nations’ involvement for its success. It does not spare any social group or class. Students, an important social group, can bring quick success to any movement. Their energies, activism, eagerness and sacrifices were behind the success of the movement of Muslims of India for a separate homeland. Muslim nationalist students got conscious of their responsibilities in time and remained involved in the Pakistan Movement. This research paper is an attempt to bring into light the role played by the students of the Punjab from the platform of the Punjab Muslim Student Federation (PMSF). The paper examines how a Unionist-based province was converted into a Muslim League-based province. It highlights strategies adopted by the PMSF to popularise the idea of Pakistan in the Punjab; problems it faced; the sacrifices that the students rendered, as well as their stand on national political issues. An important element of the paper is its source material, including the files of gold medalists available at archives of the Pakistan Movement Workers Trust. A lot of the workers of the Pakistan Movement had been awarded with the gold medals as symbol to recognize their services. These files not only provide first-hand knowledge of the services of the students but are also an evidence of their contribution in the struggle for independence. Second important source is the interviews conducted by the researcher. Most of the elderly citizens of Pakistan responded in a very positive way and the information provided by them has enhanced the importance of this study.

  • 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.

  • Nationalist Politics in the British Punjab: an Alliance Between Muslim League Parliamentary Board and Majlis-I- Ahrar-I-Islam
    Generated by Foxit PDF Creator © Foxit Software http://www.foxitsoftware.com For evaluation only. Nationalist Politics in the British Punjab: An Alliance between Muslim League Parliamentary Board and Majlis-i- Ahrar-i-Islam Samina Awan Abstract Early twentieth century witnessed the emergence of new political leadership which influenced the masses in the Punjab. The resultant awareness of British oppression led to the formation of many political parties including the Majis-i-Ahrar-i-Islam (MAI). The MAI not only gave the Muslims in Punjab a platform to raise their voice against the British policies but also provided them with an alternative to the existing political parties such as the Indian National Congress and the Unionist Party, with which they were disenchanted. The MAI entered into an alliance with the All India Muslim League in 1936. Due to several factors this alliance did not last very long but the interaction of the MAI intelligentsia with the AIML had an impact on the course of events. The scholarly debate on MAI’s political domain as well as its interaction with AIML was never explored in the annals of Muslim Punjab objectively. This article analyzes the dynamics of the MAI- AIML coalition and the reasons behind the failure of this alliance. The article aims to study the MAI as a popular party of Muslim masses in Punjab and employs the model of ‘Subaltern Studies’ to analyze the socio-political contribution of the party.
