The War within Islam
The 'United Nationalism' of Maulana Hussain Ahmad MadniFrom Mansoor Hallaj, Date: 22 October 2008 05:15Subject Response to: Tablighi Jamaat in the light of Facts and Truth by Maulana Arshadul Qadri, http://NewAgeIslam.Com - 20 Oct, 2008Dear Sultan Sahab,I wonder if Maulana is even aware of Late Hussain Ahmad Madni's and Deobandi Contribution in India's Freedom Movement. Madni Sahab was very near to All India Congress and very allergic to Jinnah and Mawdudi [JI] as well!I will quote Respected and Learned Indian academic Mr Yoginder Sikand's article in two parts:PART 1: ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVESThe 'United Nationalism' of Maulana Madni - IBy Yoginder SikandWrongly reviled today as the ‘epicentre’ of ‘Islamic terrorism’, the Dar ul-‘Ulum in Deoband, one of the largest madrasas in the world, played a leading role in spearheading India’s freedom movement. The active involvement of many Deobandi ‘ulama in the struggle against the British is today a little-remembered story. Indian school textbooks refuse to mention it, probably deliberately in order to reinforce the stereotypical, yet misplaced, image of Muslims as congenitally ‘anti-national’. At the same time, however, they extol the alleged exploits of Hindutva activists in the fight against the British, while records have proven beyond doubt that leading Hindutva spokesmen, in the Congress, the RSS and the Hindu Mahasabha, actually collaborated with the British and worked against the freedom movement. In this they played a similar role as that of the Muslim League.One of the leading figures of India’s freedom movement was Maulana Husain Ahmad Madni (1879-1957).
