Allama Inayatullah Mashraqi

"This book is a doctoral thesis on one of the most brilliant and colourful personalities of pre-Partition Muslim India. When Allama Mashraqi, who achieved dazzling successes at Cambridge, returned to his homeland, he launched his militant Khaksar Movement. Perhaps this militancy reflected his impatience for the powerless torpidity into which his co-religionists had fallen and his resolve to pull them out of it with an infusion of verve and pride." "Were his intentions good? Religious notables, among others did not think so. His radical views drew down their wrath and he was branded a kafir. We of course have the advantage of the historical perspective, and we may want to know more about this subcontinental Muslim who made no personal gains, and who attracted both loyalty and hatred in equal measures." "This political biography is the most comprehensive account so far of this controversial man and his work."--BOOK JACKET.
