Muslim Women's Forum Presents Pathbreakers Muslim Women’s Forum is a not for profit organisation formed in 2000 by a group of concerned Muslim women and men including Begum Saeeda Khurshid, Dr Sughra Mehdi, Dr Aziz Qureshi and Dr Syeda Hameed. The aim of the Forum is to work for the empowerment, inclusion and education of Muslim women and women from other marginalized communities. The primary function of the Forum is to provide women, a platform for expressing their aspirations and opinions on matters directly affecting their lives. Copyright Muslim Women’s Forum Muslim Women’s Forum 267A, Saiyidain Manzil Jamia Nagar New Delhi 110025 Aziza Fatima Imam 1924-1996 Born in Patna in 1924 to Dr Wali and Khatija Ahmad, she was adopted by Sir Ali and Lady Anis Imam who was Khatija’s own sister. She grew up in service of the community and exposure to enlightened nationalists as much as dignitaries and intellectuals, both Indian and international. This groomed her into a stellar social worker who knew every district of Bihar; also into a cultural ambassador who travelled to many countries as Member of the Rajya Sabha to which she was elected in 1973 and served for over 11 years. Although a very fine exponent of Ghazal, Bhajan and Rabindra Sangeet herself, she assiduously and consistently promoted obscure and unsung talent. In the Parliament it was said that “Begum Imam was sought with deep regard by both the Mantri and the Santri”- given her extraordinary humane approach to public service. 45 Muslim Women’s Forum Jab tak jiyo tum, ilm-o-daanish se raho mehroom yan Aiyee ho jaisi bekhabar, vaisi hi jao bekhabar Jo ilm mardon ke liye samjha gaya Aab e hayaat Thehra tumhare haq mein voh Zehr e halahal sar ba sar Aata hai vaqt insaaf ka, Nazdeek hai yaum ul hisaab Duniya ko dena hoga in Haq talfiyon ka vaan jawaab For as long as you live Remain deprived of learning and education, Ignorant as you have come, go just as ignorant That learning, which for men is considered the elixir of life For you It is poison, bitter, lethal and rife The time for justice draws near The Day of Judgment is nigh The World will have to answer For dispossessing you of your rights. Maulana Altaf Hussain Hali, 1905 Muslim Women’s Forum Muslim Women’s Forum 44 Saeeda Khurshid 1927-2015 Born in Kaimganj, UP, she moved to Delhi when her father Dr Zakir Husain established Jamia Millia Islamia. Her early education was at a local government school in Karol Bagh where Jamia was then located. In 1947 she gave up the burqa and continued her education. She studied as a private student, traveling to Aligarh for her exams. She was an excellent student and gold medalist. She wrote Zakir Sahib ki Kahani Unki Beti ki Zubaani. She was a very private person but stepped out of the house to campaign for the Congress party in several elections. She was the Founder President of the Muslim Women’s Forum in 2000, inspiring the organisation to take the middle ground on issues of Muslim women’s rights. She led the organization to engage with all sections of Muslim society, activists and Ulema to resolve issues internally.

The main body of their work spanned from 1947 until the end of their lives. They believed in equal rights for women and propagated this belief through their work and their social engagement. As in other communities, pathbreakers among the elite were more visible and known. We are committed to identifying and recognizing pathbreakers from among all sections of society and consider this only a first step. Far from the commonly held impression of silenced, cloistered and acquiescent women, Pathbreakers narrates the stories of strong, determined and engaged women. Muslim Women’s Forum Foreword We are living in times when a multiplicity of labels and stereotypes are constructed in the public domain regarding Muslim women. But the inexorable fact is there is no undifferentiated ‘mass’ of Muslim Women. As women of all socio-cultural groups, they too are a divergent, shifting composition of individuals, often dumped in popular parlance into one single heap. This homogenisation has to be rejected. During and after the independence movement many Muslim Women shed the purdah and became partners in the project to build a new India. They became writers, teachers, artists, scientists, lawyers, educators, political workers, trade unionists. A few became MP’s, MLA’s and some represented India in international fora. With a few exceptions, most of them have been forgotten in time. Despite some progress in post-Independence India due to government policy and civil society action, Muslim women continued to remain largely invisible and generally excluded from mainstream discourses. Their contributions were either unknown or overlooked. Due to many global imperatives there was the myth that women’s struggles for rights are alien to Islamic societies. This notion had to be rejected and the evidence to the contrary had to be placed up front. Pathbreakers was born as an idea to break the stereotyping of Muslim Women as ‘victims’ of their own religion. Muslim women in popular perception are beleaguered by Triple Talaq, multiple marriage, burqa, chulha, chador, chardeevari, halala. As if these were the only issues; human development issues highlighted by the Sachar Committee Report are drowned in this popular objectification. Our research for many such hidden treasures revealed an uncharted history. Hundreds of Muslim women became contenders for being part of this project. Who to take and who to leave was the toughest call. So we took post partition as our starting point and our cut off point the turn of the century. 1 Muslim Women’s Forum India’s independence movement led by Gandhiji was achieved through non-violent efforts, mobilising people, irrespective of their caste and religious identities. Sadly, today people have immersed themselves in the infernos of communal violence and intolerance towards one another. Can anything be worse than this when a country is an embodiment of diversity and cultural mix? Leaders in the country do not shy away from using violent and self- centered means for their personal gains at the cost of the country’s integrity. Thus the world’s largest democracy is at stake. The misuse of personal freedom and cultural domination by powerful people has made common people stray away from their rightful duties as citizens of the country. It is therefore important to initiate a discourse on personal freedom at the earliest. Muslim Women’s Forum Muslim Women’s Forum 42 Mofida Ahmed 1921-2008 Born in Jorhat, Assam, she became actively involved with the Indian National Congress early in life. In the 1957 Lok Sabha elections she was elected Member of Parliament from the Jorhat constituency. She served as Joint Secretary of the Red Cross Society, Jorhat District Mahila Samiti, Tezpur District Mahila Samiti, Jorhat Civil Hospital Advisory Committee and the Jorhat Blind School. Mofida dedicated her life to women’s education as the means for gender equality. She was closely connected with the Jagannath Barooah College and the DCB Girls College. She was also Convener of the Women’s Wing of the Congress at Golaghat. She was Assam’s first woman MP and also one of the first few Muslim women Members of Parliament. Excerpt of Assamese text by Mofida Ahmed with translation 41 Muslim Women’s Forum The women we presented were in public life either through their work, their activism or their writing. None of them wore Burqa; they were all believing and practising Muslims and believed that the dress code of Islam was modesty, and it applied equally to men and women. My own mother, though she is not featured here, removed her burqa in 1947. From this churning was born Pathbreakers: The Twentieth Century Muslim Women of India, a concept which featured 21 women who broke barriers and became partners with men in building the post Independence nation. Many people want to know what made me dream of this project for Muslim Women’s Forum? It was a small incident; but small incidents lead to big outcomes. I am the custodian of my mother’s library. Her Urdu collection which I had got bound in red covers 40 years ago is lined in my bookshelves. One day while I was browsing through the shelves, a volume almost jumped into my hands. It was a novel with the first three pages missing. The Foreword had survived which was signed by Maulvi Abdul Haq, the most respected name in Urdu literature. The Maulana had written glowing praises of the author, Tyaba Begum alias Tyaba Khadive Jung. Her novel Anvari Begum was published after her death in 1921; the book may have been written in the first decade of the Century. It was set in Hyderabad of early 1900’s showing the changing mores of Indian Muslim society as it was opening up to Western and Colonial influences. Among her many interests was interfaith; she presided over Annual Women’s Conference of Brahmo Samaj held in Hyderabad. Another gem in her novel was an Urdu verse translation of an English poem Thomas Gray’s ‘Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard’, which was compulsory reading in school literature course for people of my generation. As student of English and Urdu literature, I aver that the translation surpassed the original.

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.

  • Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India
    Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India Gyanendra Pandey CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Remembering Partition Violence, Nationalism and History in India Through an investigation of the violence that marked the partition of British India in 1947, this book analyses questions of history and mem- ory, the nationalisation of populations and their pasts, and the ways in which violent events are remembered (or forgotten) in order to en- sure the unity of the collective subject – community or nation. Stressing the continuous entanglement of ‘event’ and ‘interpretation’, the author emphasises both the enormity of the violence of 1947 and its shifting meanings and contours. The book provides a sustained critique of the procedures of history-writing and nationalist myth-making on the ques- tion of violence, and examines how local forms of sociality are consti- tuted and reconstituted by the experience and representation of violent events. It concludes with a comment on the different kinds of political community that may still be imagined even in the wake of Partition and events like it. GYANENDRA PANDEY is Professor of Anthropology and History at Johns Hopkins University. He was a founder member of the Subaltern Studies group and is the author of many publications including The Con- struction of Communalism in Colonial North India (1990) and, as editor, Hindus and Others: the Question of Identity in India Today (1993).

Sixth St., St. PaUl, Minn., 55101. MEDICAL GROUP CONCERNED WITH MECHANICAL METHODS TO HOLD CONFERENCE IN DETROIT (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) The American Society of Extra-Corporal Technology (AmSECT) -- technicians, surgeons, and para-medical personnel concerned with heart-lung and kidney-dialysis machines __ will hold its seventh annual conference July 16-19 in Detroit, Mich. Some 800 technicians, physicians, nurses, administrators, and engineers will be dis- cussing organ transplantation and preservation, kidney dialysis, and cardio-pulmonary technology. AmSECT President James B. Wade, supervisor of the experimental surgery laboratories at the University of Minnesota, explained that clinical extra-corporal technology (mechianical means to stimulate and perpetuate the functions of the human body) is a recent benefit of medical science. Every day hundreds of chronically ill people with severe kidney problems rely on artificial kidney machines and skilled medical technologists to cleanse their blood allowing them to lead relatively normal productive lives. Oxygenation technology -- the use of a by-pass pump to perpetuate blood circulation during open heart surgery -- has been used successfully for more than 15 years. The system, it is anticipated, may be used for longer periods to give a malfunctioning heart two or three days' rest.

  • Occupational Health & Safety in the Informal Sector
    2010 Occupational Health & Safety in the Informal Sector Sustainable Textiles for Sustainable Development Occupational Health & Safety in the Informal Sector Panel Discussion on Occupational Health & Safety of Non‐Agricultural Workers: Need for a Comprehensive Legislation 8 June 2010 India International Centre, New Delhi Background of the workshop The All India Artisans & Craftworkers Welfare Association (AIACA), in partnership with Traidcraft, UK's leading fair trade organization & Consortium of Textile Exporters (COTEX) is working on a four year Switch Asia project to explore environmental and health and safety issues relating to the crafts and textile sector in India. The project is supported by a grant from the European Union. The project seeks to promote sustainable production (i.e. development of less polluting and more resource efficient products, processes and services) and sustainable consumption patterns in the crafts and textile industry in India and ensure occupational health and safety of workers in India. A baseline study (http://aiacaonline.org/researchr.html) was commissioned under the project, looking at environmental and health impacts of various production processes in six craft clusters across India. Taking this initiative forward, a policy brief was prepared looking at occupational health and safety issues for non‐agricultural workers in the informal sector. A consultative workshop was held on Occupational Health and Safety in the Informal Sector on 8th June, 2010 at the India International Centre. Two panel discussions were put together to respond to this and discuss strategies to develop a comprehensive legislation for occupational health and safety for informal workers. Participants at the workshop included policymakers, leading businesses in the sector and representatives from various government departments and civil society organizations.
