PREFACE What prompted us in writing this Book. As the saying goes, truth is the first casualty of war; so is true history, the first casualty of India’s struggle for independence. We, the Hindus of Bengal happen to be one of the worst victims of Islamic intolerance in the world. Bengal, which had been under Islamic attack for centuries, beginning with the invasion of the Turkish marauder Bakhtiyar Khilji eight hundred years back. We had a respite from Islamic rule for about two hundred years after the English East India Company defeated the Muslim ruler of Bengal. Siraj-ud-daulah in 1757. But gradually, Bengal had been turned into a Muslim majority province.

  • 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.

  • Cultural Foundation of India's Look East Policy

Asian Stud. 06 (01) 2018. 51-65 Available Online at ESci Journals Journal of South Asian Studies ISSN: 2307-4000 (Online), 2308-7846 (Print) http://www.escijournals.net/JSAS THE ROLE OF CULTURAL DYNAMICS IN THE CREATION OF PAKISTAN Naseer A. Habib* Archive Department of Ahmadiyya Jamat International London, United Kingdom. A B S T R A C T The emergence of Pakistan has been the topic of many discussions. An effort has been made to view it through the prism of Oswald Spengler’s Cultural theory. Every culture has its own soul, distinctive entity, symbols and dynamics. The Hindus and Muslims belong to different cultures. They have their own past and cultural traditions. After the debacle of 1857, the challenge of British domination created a fissure in their body politic. In this situation, these cultural symbols came to their rescue. The Muslim community of India seems to have been attracted to the symbol of Turkish Khilafat in order to rehabilitate its history in India. But every upheaval that took place in Turkey caused a stir among the Indian Muslims. It evoked unprecedented response among the Indian Muslims. It was the magnetic field of these strong emotions that directed the needle of high politics. In 1924, The Muslims of India lost their important plank when the institution of Khilafat was abolished in Turkey. They replaced it with the idea of an Independent Muslim state. Having accepted it, Jinnah emerged as a symbol of “pious Sultan” for the masses. When Gandhi united the goals of arhta and moksha, he emerged like Janaka for Hindu masses.

  • Iqbal and Jinnah: an Amalgamation of Thought and Real Politics
    South Asian Studies A Research Journal of South Asian Studies Vol. 32, No. 2, July – December 2017, pp.505 – 521 Iqbal and Jinnah: An Amalgamation of Thought and Real Politics Farooq Ahmad Dar Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan ABSTRACT Muhammad Iqbal and Mohammad Ali Jinnah are normally credited as the founding fathers of Pakistan. Both of them, to begin with, were the supporters of Indian nationalism and later, due to their political and social experiences they emerged as the champions of the idea of Muslim nationalism in South Asia. Two of them had very little interaction with each other yet the partnership between the two had left a great impact on the history of this region. In late 1920s Iqbal and Jinnah supported two different groups of Muslim League. However, in 1930s they realized that actually they were trying to reach the same destination by following separate paths. Eventually they developed a relationship based on trust and respect. Iqbal played a major role in the making of Jinnah as the leader of Pakistan movement. It was the combination of Iqbal’s philosophical mind and Jinnah’s statesmanship which ultimately resulted in the creation of a nation state, Pakistan. Key Words: Iqbal, Jinnah, Muslim Nationalism, Muslim League, Punjab Politics No mention of the history of Pakistan Movement is complete without incorporating the vision of Muhammad Iqbal, the poet-philosopher, and political and legal acumen of the statesman, Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Both of them enjoy undisputed respect and special position in the discourse of the Muslim Nationalist Historiography in South Asia, which revolves around the opinion that Iqbal conceived the idea of Pakistan and Jinnah converted the idea into a practical reality.

W.C Banerjee argued that the Congress was really the work of Dufferin, the Viceroy of India.

    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 19, Issue 4, Ver. II (Apr. 2014), PP 101-110 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org India –Pakistan; the History of Unsolved Conflicts. Mushtaq Ahmad Mir (Arihal pulwama) P.hd Political Science Abstract: Since the withdrawal of British, following the creation of the two dominions, India and Pakistan, Jammu and Kashmir has been the bone of contention between the two. It is most tragic that India and Pakistan have been looking upon one another as enemies, since independence and there relations with each other are charged with an envenomed load of bigotry, prejudice, religious and nationalistic hostility. Both countries have spent millions of rupees on defence against each other. The brave of both the countries to uplift their people’s pitiable low standard of living, have greatly hampered by their corrosive quarrels. the relation between the two domains approached boiling point over the fate of three princely states junagadh, Hyderabad and Kashmir in 1947.the two states have fought four wars; 1948, 1965,1971 and 1999.three had origin on Kashmir dispute. The present paper INDIA-PAKISTAN RELATIONS; THE HISTORY OF UNSOLVED CONFLICTS, is designed to analyze true nature of India Pakistan conflicts and its long term consequences. To accomplish this goal present paper is divided in to (a) pre independence and (b) post independence era. I. Introduction Indeed, Asia‟s ugliest unsolved problem has been the constant bad relations between India and Pakistan. The roots of crises extend to the catastrophic partition of the two countries in 1947 when British government left the region after a 250 years period of rule characterized by exploitation and divide and rule conquer tactics.

India is considered as the birthplace of so many religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikkhism etc. Besides that, it also embraces the foreign religions such as Islamism, Christianity, Judaism, Zoorastranism etc. But it’s a fact that, this land of peaceful religious co-existence was divided into two as Indian Union and Pakistan, on the eve of its independence in 1947 on the basis of religion. This study aims to reveal the basic responsible factors which cause the growth of Muslim communalism in India which finally resulted in the partition of the country into two as the Indian Union and the Pakistan in 1947 August at the eve of India’s Independence.
