    THE POPALZAI FAMILY: ITS ROLE IN VARIOUS RELIGIO-POLITICAL MOVEMENTS IN BRITISH NORTH-WEST FRONTIER PROVINCE (NWFP), 1927 - 1940 JAVED KHANI PROF. DR. FAKHR-UL ISLAMII IDepartment of History, University of Peshawar e-mail: [email protected] IIDirector, Pakistan Study Centre, University of Peshawar e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The present Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the former North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) has served as base camp for various religio-political movements in the colonial period. Besides Pukhtun socio-political intelligentsia, the local ulama have extensively served during those campaigns. The Popalzai family, based in Peshawar was popular among the local Pukhtuns for its Islamic scholarship from Deoband, India. During the post- First World War period, the Deobandi Ulama went from active resistance to non-violent constitutional activism under Jamiat-ul Ulama-i-Hind (JUH) this stance was followed by the Pukhtun ulama in Peshawar. Maulana Abdul ×akim Popalzai, Maulana Abd-ur-Rahim Popalzai, and Maulana Abdul Qaiyum Popalzai, the prominent members of the Popalzai family supported the Deobandi ulama in the politics of NWFP. Jamiat-ul Ulama- i-Sarhad (JUS) was formed and Maulana Abdul ×akim Popalzai was elected its president in 1927, who organized the local ulama on the platform of JUS. In 1929, he followed the instructions of JUH in agitating against the Sardah Act in NWFP and mobilized the local ulama and the masses from the platform of JUS to support the agitation. Abd-ur-Rahim, under the influence of Shah Waliullah and revolutionary thoughts of Maulana Ubaidullah Sindhi, earned himself the title of ‘IshterÉki Mullah’ (Socialist Religious Scholar) for his involvement in popular agitation and championing the rights of the oppressed class such as KisÉn (peasants), MazdËr 28 The Popalzai Family..

  • NIAZI TRIBE of MIANWALI: a Cultural Study Session
    NIAZI TRIBE OF MIANWALI: A Cultural Study Session: 2012-14 By PARI GUL NIAZI Roll No. 10 M.Phil (Regular) Supervised by: Dr. Muhammad Akbar Malik Department of Pakistan Studies The Islamia University of Bahawalpur i Abstract Mianwali district is located in Pakistan it is one of less developed area of Pakistan. There are different casts living in Minawli but the majority living people are consisting of Niazai tribe. This is one of the strong tribes of Pathans. Their culture and language differs a lot from other people. This is never discussed in dateils at any forum. One or two articles can be found in newspapers but not a detailed thesis or book is found on this topic. This is the reason; this topic was chosen for a research work. Although the history of Mianwali district is explored and worked for many times yet the cultural aspects remained in dark. A less worked area which is never been discussed, could bring a research material to the field of Pakistan Studies and cultural anthropology. It will encourage others to explore their culture which we are forgetting and merging with the western culture. This work highlights the cultural aspects of Niazai tribe specifically. The research style is followed by the steps taken in the Cultural Anthropology of Connard Phillip Kottak. Niazai people of Mianwali are very hospitable and respect its guests. But their language contains an element of satire so the habitants of that area are used to it and reply other person in a mocking manner. It is creates humor among them.
