  • Muslim Historiography of the Pious Caliphate in British India (1857-1947)
    Journal of Historical Studies Vol. II, No. I (January-June 2016) Muslims Historiography of the Caliphate in the British India (1857-1947) Shumaila Firdous History College, Nanjing University, China Abstract: This study intends to analyze The Muslims’ Historiography of the Caliphate in British India (1857-1947). Muslim historiography from earlier period to nineteenth century passed through many stages which represents its changing nature and structure. In India, the Muslim historiography played a very important role in creating a separate Muslim identity. During the colonial period Muslims had to face a bulk of problems, but the intellectual challenge was the most important. Many Western Orientalists and Indian scholars had launch a move to alter the history writing, construct anti-Muslim heroism and challenge the historical narrative of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the early Muslim leadership. Although Muslims were also divided into two major sects (Shia, Sunni), they felt a need to respond intellectually and uniformly to the western intellectual challenges. That was the beginning of the modern Indian Muslim historiography with a re-constructionist and revisionist approach on the basis of modern logic, reason, tradition and through historical ideals. Three schools of thought came into existence, Rationalist/Modernist, Traditionalist/Orthodox and Idealist in India Muslim historiography. Every school follow a different a different approach to historiography. Shibli Naumani, Syed Ameer Ali, Moin ud din Nadvi, Akber Najeeb Aabadi, Aslam Jairajpuri, and Abdul Haleem Sharar’s has contributed in exemplary way, dealing with the history of Pious Caliphate, Umayyads, Abbasids and Spanish Muslim history as the golden era of Islam. This tendency contributed to the emergence of two nation theory and created a strong nationalism among the Muslims, subsequently that was the base of the ideology of Pakistan.

  • 01720Joya Chatterji the Spoil
    This page intentionally left blank The Spoils of Partition The partition of India in 1947 was a seminal event of the twentieth century. Much has been written about the Punjab and the creation of West Pakistan; by contrast, little is known about the partition of Bengal. This remarkable book by an acknowledged expert on the subject assesses partition’s huge social, economic and political consequences. Using previously unexplored sources, the book shows how and why the borders were redrawn, as well as how the creation of new nation states led to unprecedented upheavals, massive shifts in population and wholly unexpected transformations of the political landscape in both Bengal and India. The book also reveals how the spoils of partition, which the Congress in Bengal had expected from the new boundaries, were squan- dered over the twenty years which followed. This is an original and challenging work with findings that change our understanding of parti- tion and its consequences for the history of the sub-continent. JOYA CHATTERJI, until recently Reader in International History at the London School of Economics, is Lecturer in the History of Modern South Asia at Cambridge, Fellow of Trinity College, and Visiting Fellow at the LSE.

  • Genealogical Analysis of Islamic Law Books Relied on in the Courts of Pakistan Shahbaz Ahmad Cheema* Samee Ozair Khan** 1
    AL-ADWA40:28 23 Genealogical Analysis….. Genealogical Analysis of Islamic Law Books Relied on in the Courts of Pakistan Shahbaz Ahmad Cheema* Samee Ozair Khan** 1. Introduction: The legal cum judicial system in Pakistan is characterized by two outstanding features vis a vis Islamic law: firstly, the courts of the country implement the law laid down by the legislature, and secondly, if there is no law enacted on any point particularly with respect to personal matters the courts derive the rules of Islamic law from works of authority and put them into operation. The reason for such a mixture is embedded in the colonial period where the legal cum judicial system was structured as such. After the independence, Pakistan has retained that system on the same pattern albeit some cosmetic changes here and there. It must be admitted at the outset that the changes brought about by some legislative instruments are not mere cosmetic as they have reshaped the entire jurisprudence in that particular area, e.g. hudood laws. As a whole the above assertion with respect to dual characteristics of Pakistani legal cum judicial system is beyond any reproach. When someone is apprised of the above mentioned dual characteristic of the Pakistani legal cum judicial system, then it is natural to inquire what sort of source material is relied upon by the courts to find out an authentic view point of Islamic law on a particular issue. It is this important but unexplored question which has been made subject of analysis in this paper. For the purposes of exploring the frequently relied upon books of Islamic law by the courts, the author has carried out an inquisitive and careful analysis of the reported decisions of the superior judiciary in Pakistan.(1) After having found the frequently relied upon Islamic law books on the basis of their recurrent referencing in the reported cases, the paper has selected some of them for analysis in this paper.

  • 1. Introduction
    Notes 1. Introduction 1. ‘Diaras and Chars often first appear as thin slivers of sand. On this is deposited layers of silt till a low bank is consolidated. Tamarisk bushes, a spiny grass, establish a foot-hold and accretions as soon as the river recedes in winter; the river flows being considerably seasonal. For several years the Diara and Char may be cultivable only in winter, till with a fresh flood either the level is raised above the normal flood level or the accretion is diluvated completely’ (Haroun er Rashid, Geography of Bangladesh (Dhaka, 1991), p. 18). 2.

  • 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.

  • Fazlul Huq, Peasant Politics and the Formation of the Krishak Praja Party (KPP)
    2 Fazlul Huq, Peasant Politics and the Formation of the Krishak Praja Party (KPP) In all parts of India, the greater portion of the total population is, and always has been, dependent on the land for its existence and subsistence. During the colonial rule, this was absolutely true in the case of Bengal as a whole and particularly so of its eastern districts. In this connection, it should be mentioned here that the Muslim masses even greater number than the Hindus, were more concentrated in agriculture which is clearly been reflected in the Bengal Census of 1881: “………..while the husbandmen among the Hindus are only 49.28 per cent, the ratio among the Muslims is 62.81 per cent”.1 The picture was almost the same throughout the nineteenth century and continued till the first half of the twentieth century. In the different districts of Bengal, while the majority of the peasants were Muslims, the Hindus were mainly the landowning classes. The Census of 1901 shows that the Muslims formed a larger portion of agricultural population and they were mostly tenants rather than landlords. In every 10,000 Muslims, no less than 7,316 were cultivators, but in the case of the Hindus, the figure was 5,555 amongst the same number (i.e. 10,000) of Hindu population. But the proportion of landholders was only 170 in 10,000 in the case of Muslims as against 217 in the same number of Hindus.2 In the district of Bogra which was situated in the Rajshahi Division, the Muslims formed more than 80% of the total population.
