Title: Deoband Ulema’s Movement for the Freedom of India

Author: Farhat Tabassum

Author’s Note:

In India, or for that matter in any part of the world, ulema have always been criticized for one of the other reason. Sometimes they are accused of hurling the gullible followers into the dark alleys of outdated customs and traditions. Sometimes they are blamed for preaching bigotry and extremism. They are even accused of preaching hatred and violence at the drop of a hat. But if one peeps into their lives and their mission, one can easily find that they are actually torch bearers of peace and communal harmony and all the charges against them are uncalled for. Ulema have always strived for unity and peaceful co-existence. It is only the mistrust among various communities that creates all the troubles and needs to be corrected. Through this book, I have tried to bring the lives and works of some of the renowned ulemas alive before the readers, so that the misunderstanding about them could be removed and their less known role in the country’s freedom struggle is brought to limelight…
