Bismillahhirrahmanirrahim
Muslims as we all know constitute the largest minority of the country & Ulemas are known for their noticeable contribution in the socio-cultural, political, historical & religio-philosophical spheres of the country. The contribution made by the ulemas, however, have either been relegated to the negligible margins in the pages of history or are routhlessly ignored. Deoband ulemas & their work have been crass political negligence. The Book ‘Deoband Ulemas Movement for the Freedom of the India’ by Farhat Tabassum give evidensce of Ulemas selfless & disentreseted leadership infused a spirit of nationalism & promoted a sense of togetherness amongst the masses.Their writing & speeches acquainted the indigenous people of the foreign infiltration, usurpation & exploitation. People learn the resist & retaliate.
The study highlighted the role of ulemas & their movements in Indian politics between 1857 & 1947 with strong support of their respective leaders. The chief contribution of Ulemas & their Movements was schematically ignored by the dominant stream of the intellectuals & historians motivated by their ulterior motives.
