Effect of Divergent Ideologies of Mahatma Gandhi and Muhammad Iqbal on Political Events in British India (1917-38)
M.L. Sehgal, International Journal of Research in Engineering, IT and Social Sciences, ISSN 2250-0588, Impact Factor: 6.565, Volume 09 Issue 01, January 2019, Page 315-326 Effect of Divergent Ideologies of Mahatma Gandhi and Muhammad Iqbal on Political Events in British India (1917-38) M. L. Sehgal (Fmrly: D. A. V. College, Jalandhar, Punjab (India)) Abstract: By 1917, Gandhi had become a front rung leader of I.N.C. Thereafter, the ‘Freedom Movement’ continued to swirl around him till 1947. During these years, there happened quite a number of political events which brought Gandhi and Iqbal on the opposite sides of the table. Our stress would , primarily, be discussing as to how Gandhi and Iqbal reacted on these political events which changed the psych of ‘British Indians’, in general, and the Muslims of the Indian Subcontinent in particular.Nevertheless, a brief references would, also, be made to all these political events for the sake of continuity. Again, it would be in the fitness of the things to bear in mind that Iqbal entered national politics quite late and, sadly, left this world quite early(21 April 1938), i.e. over 9 years before the creation of Pakistan. In between, especially in the last two years, Iqbal had been keeping indifferent health. So, he might not have reacted on some political happenings where we would be fully entitled to give reactions of A.I.M.L. and I.N.C.

Introduction: Modern Arab-Islamic Scholarship on Ethics a Reflective Contextualization
Introduction: Modern Arab-Islamic Scholarship on Ethics A Reflective Contextualization Mohammed Hashas and Mutaz al-Khatib The question whether there are theories in Islamic ethics1 does not differ much from the similar question whether there is an Islamic philosophy.This issue was first raised by some 18th and 19th century European Orientalists—à la Johann Jakob Brucker (1696–1770), Wilhelm Gottlieb Tennemann (1761–1819), and Ern- est Renan (1823–1892) (ʿAbd al-Rāziq [1944] 2011, 8)—and has been revisited by a number of ongoing studies, particularly since the modern edition and public- ation of various manuscripts originally written in the classical period (before the 19th century) by various Muslim and non-Muslim scholars in and from different Islamic contexts—the Arabic, Persian, Ottoman, Indian and Malay contexts—where philosophy did not die out as a discipline, as the claim has gone for some good time (El-Rouayheb and Schmidtke 2017, 1–7). A review of classical Qurʾanic exegeses shows that neither the exegets have been concerned with building theories of ethics based on the Qurʾan (al-Khaṭīb 2017), nor have Muslim scholars in general, even though the sacred text is all about ethics (Rah- man 1982, 154–155). It was the challenge of modernity that required revisiting the Islamic tradition in search of Islamic philosophy, or Arab(ic) philosophy as some prefer to call it (Ṣalībā 1989, 9–11). The avant-guardist thinkers of the so-called Arab-Islamic nahḍa (awakening or renaissance) of the 19th century, like Rifaʿa Rafiʿ al-Tahtawi (1801–1873), Jamal al-Din al-Afghani (1838–1897) and Muhammad Abduh (1849–1905), did not deal with this question of ethics as contemporary scholars do. -

SYNOPSIS The career of the Anglican scholar and bishop, Kenneth Cragg, focusses attention on the Christian understanding of other faiths in general and of Islam in particular. Cragg has been a leading exponent of a particular missionary approach to Islam, emphasizing that there is a 'mission to Islam' as much as a mission to Muslims. To this end he interprets Islam as pointing in its deepest meaning towards Christianity, a course which has aroused both admiration and opposition among Christians and Muslims alike. I attempt to show that his theology is strongly influenced by distinctive Anglican traditions, and nourished by one particular Arab Christian source. Cragg, however, resists any easy classification, and faces the accusation of theological evasiveness as well as hermeneutic sleight of hand. -

Whatever Happened to Hindustani?
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HINDUSTANI? LANGUAGE POLITICS IN LATE COLONIAL INDIA A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY DECEMBER 2012 By Richard Forster Thesis Committee: Ned Bertz, Chairperson Peter H. Hoffenberg Miriam Sharma ii Acknowledgements In the course of completing this thesis and other requirements for the MA degree I have become indebted to numerous individuals as well as several institutions for various forms of encouragement and support. Firstly and above all I want to thank Lorinda and Lichen for putting up with me and my often irascible temperament, almost always without complaint, and for supporting me so selflessly that I have been largely free to pursue my studies over the last several years. Without your hard work and many sacrifices it would surely have been impossible for me to spend so much time trying to learn something more about South Asian history and culture, and I am more grateful to both of you than you can know. Similarly, our extended family in both Australia and the USA have been consistently generous, offering both material and moral support without which this study would have so much more challenging. This thesis concerns aspects of the history of certain South Asian languages, in particular Hindi and Urdu, (or Hindustani), but in a way, Sanskrit and Persian as well. Now that I take stock of my attempts to learn each of these languages I realize that I have been assisted in no small way by a rather large cohort of language teachers, for each of whom I hold enormous fonts of respect, affection and gratitude. -

Pierre Teilhard De Chardin and Muhammad Iqbal on Human Consciousness and Sociality: a Critical Comparison
PIERRE TEILHARD DE CHARDIN AND MUHAMMAD IQBAL ON HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS AND SOCIALITY: A CRITICAL COMPARISON A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theological and Religious Studies By Joshua Shane Canzona, M.T.S. Washington, D.C. March 16, 2018 Copyright 2018 by Joshua Shane Canzona All Rights Reserved ii PIERRE TEILHARD DE CHARDIN AND MUHAMMAD IQBAL ON HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS AND SOCIALITY: A CRITICAL COMPARISON Joshua Shane Canzona, M.T.S. Thesis Advisor: Leo D. Lefebure, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This study is a comparative analysis of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Muhammad Iqbal focused on how the themes of consciousness and sociality are developed and interconnected in their respective worldviews. Research efforts sought the exposition of these themes throughout the oeuvres of both authors and in letters and journals, published and archival. Taking a short article by Eva de Vitray-Meyerovitch as inspiration, this study is the first sustained comparison of Iqbal and Teilhard de Chardin and the only sustained comparative study of Teilhard with any Muslim thinker. The scope of research in this project has also brought numerous primary and secondary sources within the respective orbit of each thinker into conversation for the first time and it marks the first published citation of previously unused or sealed archival resources held by Georgetown University. The analysis of consciousness in Teilhard and Iqbal has revealed (1) the importance of their shared inheritance from philosopher Henri Bergson (2) a shared commitment to the unity of consciousness and (3) a shared commitment to a particular kind of panpsychism within the context of panentheism. -

Jackson, Chair Professor Michael D. Bonner Professor Juan R. Cole Professor Alexander D. Knysh © Mohammad Hassan Khalil All rights reserved 2007 To my family and my teachers ii Acknowledgements A dissertation is never the work of just one individual. I should first thank my dissertation committee, Professors Sherman Jackson, Michael Bonner, Juan Cole, and Alexander Knysh – a magnificent group of scholars, to say the least. I must give a very, very special thank you to Professor Jackson, my mentor and advisor. Words cannot begin to describe how much I have benefited from his wisdom, and no ‘thank you’ from me would ever truly suffice. (Even so, alf shukr yā ustādh!). I must also express my deep gratitude to Professor Bonner for taking me under his wing during my A.M. studies, enlightening me, and assisting me greatly in my transition into the graduate program. I am also quite indebted to Professor Raji Rammuny in particular for trusting in me, providing me with invaluable opportunities, and allowing me to see the light of day. In fact, I should thank the entire faculty of the University of Michigan Department of Near Eastern Studies for their unwavering support. I am also incredibly grateful for the support and assistance that the department staff has provided. In this regard, I should single out Margaret Casazza, Jessica Hale, and Angela Radjewski for being especially helpful. -
