IQRA TAHIRBA. Final year

amia Millia Islamia has a�ained the status of being the highest ranking Jins�tu�on in the Country. However, JMI has been emerging from the past with a special iden�ty compared to other educa�onal ins�tu�ons due to

the best educa�onal services, it has the history of tolerance and an iden�ty exclusive of its own, an instance of diversity and pluralism of the motherland.

Today, JMI is a�aining peak of success one a�er another, but its journey was not as easy and straigh�orward as it sounds, it will not be imprecise if we say that the 1857 was the outmost pinnacle of the decline for Indian Muslims.

This was the �me when the ac�vi�es of the freedom movement was in full swing, omnipresence of the sparks of freedom struggle escalated throughout the country but can we say that a large of number of incensed people grant us this freedom? No, this movement was boosted by the essen�al paraphernalia of educa�on.

The example of educa�on is like a shield and a sword in war. It was impossible to win such a colossal ba�le like our freedom struggle was, without educa�on. During the colonial period, Muslims were lagging far behind in educa�on, as a result of which our scholars have expressed their views, by which Darul Uloom Deoband was came into its existence.

Shortly a�erwards, Sir Syed called for the establishment of an

WHAT JAMIA'S PAST TELLS US

ins�tu�on Anglo Oriental Collage to provide both religious and modern educa�on, today this ins�tu�on is recognized as Aligarh Muslim University. With the elapse of �me the expansion in the power of the Bri�sh Raj was proliferated they started acquiring control over the educa�onal ins�tu�ons in India, they aided the ins�tu�ons with financial support, In this, Aligarh Muslim University was also clinched by Bri�shers thus it was no longer an

ins�tu�on which Sir Syed visualized.

T h e M u s l i m students were outraged a n d d e m a n d e d t h a t university must terminate t h e a c c u m u l a � o n o f a s s i s t a n c e f r o m t h e B r i � s h e r s , b u t t h e university administra�on did not paid any a�en�on to them. A large number of ac�vists and freedom fighters devoted to Non-corpora�on Movement and muslin ac�vists and poli�cians of INC decided t o e s t a b l i s h a n independent ins�tu�on from Bri�sh governance, which administered by I n d i a n c o n � n g e n t s , thereupon the founders of

Jamia strongly believed that educa�on must be free from the Bri�sh control with religious based curriculum having moral, cultural tradi�ons, modern educa�on. As if on cue the O�oman Empire in Turkey was dissolved a�er this a sec�on of western educated but radical Islamic Muslim scholars at Aligarh perturbed with the role of the Bri�sh power against the o�oman caliphate.

In point of fact, the idea of JMI began materialized by Gandhi Ji at that �me. Gandhi opposed the Rowle� Bills with launching his Satyagraha against it in Delhi during March-April, 1919. He visited Aligarh in October of 1920; his

significant visit prompted series of events on the Mohammedan Anglo Oriental College campus. Maulana Mohammad Ali, persuaded Gandhi ji about the concept of Khilafat in Islam and what its worth for Muslims. In Aligarh Gandhi ji promoted the khilafat movement and allied with the students and ac�vists Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Ali Brothers, Dr.MA Ansari, and Hakeem Ajmal Khan were also present. With this allegiance all the Indian communi�es making a move to aloof themselves from Bri�sh merchandise and commodi�es. When the leaders embraced each other in public places and confedera�ons of freedom fighters marked a culmina�on of hindu-muslim unity.

thThe 29 of October 1920 was declared the day for the inaugura�on of an autonomous 'Na�onal Muslim University' Shaikh-ul Hind (Maulana Mehmood-ul- Hasan) was invited to lay the founda�on stone and inaugural speech but the health of Shaikh-ul Hind not allowed him to do so. Then his student Maulana Shabbir Ahmad Usmani delivered the speech on behalf of Maulana Mehmood-ul-Hasan.

The founda�on commi�ee had 18 prominent founding members Dr.Mukhtar Ahmad Ansari, Mu�i Kafaya�ullah ,Maulana Abdul Bari Farangi Mahali ,Maulana Sulaiman Nadvi ,Maulana Shabbir Ahmed Usmani,Maulana Husain Ahmad Madni , C h a u d h u r y K h a l e e q - u z - Za m a n ,Mohammad Ismail Khan ,Tasadduq Husain Khan, Dr. Mohammad Iqbal, Maulana Sanaullah Khan Amritsari, Dr.Saifuddin Kitchlew ,Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Dr. Syed Mehmood ,Saith Abdullah Haroon Karachiwale,AbbasTyabiji ,SaitMiyan Mohammad Haji Jaam Chhotani and Maulavi Abdul Haq.

JMI was nurtured by men, who deeply commi�ed to the na�onalis�c cause. It has been considered an ideal ins�tu�on for India's inherited liberal and tolerant of co-existence of different faiths and ideologies. The past of Jamia tells us that it has been the visible symbol of India's freedom struggle, its secularism, Hindu-Muslim unity and the idea of Azad Taalim( self directed educa�on).

From 1920 and the �mes a�er that our Jamia journeyed miles of triumph and success and a�ained changes like in 1925 it was shi�ed to karolbagh , 1935 it was shifed to Okhla , and witnessed the par��on of India the riots a�er the independence quivered the northern India surely affected jamia but not its campus, in 1962 it became a deemed university, in 1978 the BE course of civil engineering was commenced , in 1981 the faculty of humani�es and languages , natural science , social science were established in 1985 the mass communica�on research centre for coaching and career planning were established. Academic staff collage and the academy of third world studies were established in 1987 and 1988 and faculty of law in 1989. In 1988 Jamia became a central university by an act of parliament.

The Jamia Millia Islamia is indeed a minority ins�tu�on but never forsaken furnishing educa�on to the other communi�es of India, Jamia is known for its mul� ethnic and mul� religious diverse society. Even today, Jamia Millia Islamia has maintained this habit. The ins�tu�on has preserved the Ganga-Jamni tehzeeb i.e brotherhood of the country. This ins�tu�on has honored everyone no ma�er from which society or faith they came from. According to Dr.jawahar lal nehru said that jamia was the product of non corpora�on movement undoubtedly we can say it has been connec�ng people ever since the moment it was established.

Today, Jamia Millia Islamia is giving us this message which can be conveyed through the verses of Allama Iqbal:

“Go beyond the des�na�on and find the des�na�on,

“Every glass is broken by a stone,

Find the glass that breaks the stone”

Under the state of affairs in which Jamia was founded, no one could say that it would effectuate the journey from droplet to pearl in this way. On comple�ng glorious 100 years of splendid achievements, Jamia is s�ll proffering its services to the na�on in the same way with equivalent old enthusiasm as yesterday, and the endeavors of Jamia are apprising the world that the further success is yet to come……

ALIZA KHAN ND(B.A 2 YEAR)

ANSWER: One of the several prominent educa�onal ins�tu�ons established in response to the call of non-coopera�on by Mahatma Gandhi was Jamia Millia Islamia.

The minority educa�onal ins�tu�on, which is also a central university, began as the direct result of non-coopera�on and the Khilafat movement. In August 1920, Gandhi had given a call for non-coopera�on, asking Indians to boyco� the Bri�sh government's educa�onal ins�tu�ons, the courts, government services, foreign goods and elec�ons, and to refuse to pay taxes.

Responding to the call, Muslim na�onalist leaders such as Maulana Mahmud Hasan, Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar, Hakim Ajmal Khan, Dr. Mukhtar Ahmad Ansari, Abdul Majeed Khwaja and Dr. Zakir Hussain on October 29, 1920, founded Jamia Millia Islamia in Aligarh

Mukhtar Ahmad Ansari, Abdul Majeed Khwaja

and Dr. Zakir Hussain on October 29, 1920,

founded Jamia Millia Islamia in Aligarh.


34

WHAT WAS THE ROLE OF GANDHI IN THE FORMATION AND SUSTENANCE OF JAMIA MILLIA ISLAMIA?

The inaugural mee�ng of Jamia was held in the Jama Masjid of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU). At the �me of founding Jamia, its founders, such as Zakir Hussain, were associated with AMU. Jamia was later shi�ed to Delhi, first to Karol Bagh and then to Okhla, where it is situated now.

A new book �tled Jamia Aur Gandhi (Jamia and Gandhi) informs us that Gandhi's rela�onship with the ins�tu�on was not just limited to the fact that it was established in response to the call given by Gandhi. It shows us that Jamia and Gandhi shared a life-long rela�onship.

Wri�en by a journalist and an alumnus of Jamia, Afroz Alam Sahil, the book documents how Gandhi contributed to the development of the ins�tu�on over the years, which is currently celebra�ng its 100th Founda�on Day.Sahil writes in the preface of the book:

“Gandhi contributed a lot to Jamia and he also received a lot from the ins�tute. It wouldn't be an exaggera�on to say that Gandhi had a special affec�on towards Jamia. As much as Gandhi understood Jamia, the ins�tute also gave an equal amount of love and respect on him.”

According to the author, Gandhi's wife Kasturba spent some crucial days of her life in Jamia as well. Moreover, Gandhi's son Devdas served as a teacher in the ins�tu�on.Gandhi's grandson Rasiklal (son of Hiralal) not only studied in Jamia but also breathed his last there.


64

In January 1925, when Jamia was

going through a serious financial

crisis and there were talks of closing

it down, Gandhi, insis�ng that it

must con�nue, is reported to have

said to Hakim Ajmal Khan, “Aapko

rupaya ki diqqat hai to mein bheekh

maang lunga('If you're facing a

financial crunch, then I am ready to

do beg').”This encouraged Hakim

Ajmal and his friends to keep Jamia

going. Gandhi also made a trip to

Bhopal and appealed to the masses

in Patna.

““


35

To raise funds for Jamia, Gandhi wrote several le�ers to wealthy and influen�al people, including Jamnalal Bajaj, Ghanshyam Das Birla and Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya, founder of the Banaras Hindu University (BHU).

In January 1925, when Jamia was going through a serious financial crisis and there were talks of closing it down, Gandhi, insis�ng that it must con�nue, is reported to have said to Hakim Ajmal Khan, “Aapko rupaya ki diqqat hai to mein bheekh maang lunga('If you're facing a financial crunch, then I am ready to do beg').”This encouraged Hakim Ajmal and his friends to keep Jamia going. Gandhi also made a trip to Bhopal and appealed to the masses in Patna. He also wrote ar�cles in his journals — Young India and Navjivan— to raise funds for Jamia.

For Gandhi, Jamia was not just another na�onalis�c project but an ini�a�ve which he hoped would serve as a living example of Hindu-Muslim unity. In most of his le�ers and addresses concerning Jamia, he can be seen emphasising on this point.

Moreover, Gandhi's vision about Jamia was one of a Muslim educa�onal ins�tu�on which would be an abode for training Indian ci�zens, along with one which would safeguard the Islamic iden�ty. It was quoted that the educa�onist and former vice chancellor of Jamia, professor Mohammad Mujeeb, while recoun�ng an incident when Gandhi had been suggested by a friend to remove the word 'Islamia' from the university's name, to it make it easier to raise funds for the university.

To this Gandhi had responded by saying that, “If the word 'Islamia' is removed from Jamia's name, then I would not be interested in the educa�onal ins�tu�on.”

Opposing the collec�on of funds for Jamia, Dr. B.S. Moonje, leader of the Hindu Mahasabha, wrote a le�er to Gandhi on January 18, 1928. In his le�er, Moonje alleged that communal ins�tu�ons (like Jamia) are primarily responsible for crea�ng separa�on between communi�es, which results in communal strife.

In response to Moonje's le�er, Gandhi wrote to him on January 27, 1928, saying, “Don't we have many ins�tu�ons in our country which are purely Hindu? And there are no restric�ons in this Muslim university on the admission of Hindu students. In fact, many Hindus have graduated from this University and they are working today in the service of the na�on. There are


65


36

many Hindu students studying here.”

Gandhi was a lifelong supporter and friend of Jamia. Wherever he went and whenever he got a chance to speak about Jamia, he tried his best to promote and support the ins�tu�on.Upon his return to Delhi from Nohakhali on September 9, 1947, the first thing that he had reportedly asked is, “Is Zakir Hussain fine? Is Jamia Millia safe?”

The next morning he visited Jamia and Okhla, where refugees of the Par��on were staying. This proved to be his last visit to Jamia, as within six months of this visit, he was killed by Nathuram Godse on January 30, 1948 during the evening prayers in Delhi.It was noted that upon hearing the news of Gandhi's assassina�on, every member of Jamia was sad and the ins�tu�on was engulfed in gloom, remembering the friend and benefactor who had contributed towards the development of Jamia immensely.

As Jamia is celebra�ng its 100th founda�on day,we need to remember the legacy of Gandhi because imagining the legacy of Jamia without Gandhi and Gandhi without Jamia seems impossible.

J AMIA MILLIA ISLAMIA UNIVERSITY remains in limelight from an epoch for its unstoppable and indomitable a�tude of its students and faculty members. It is known for its stalwarts and fearlessness. The name of

which means a na�onal university, if such an ins�tu�on really na�onalist or is it became an�-na�onal as called up by many nowadays?

In 1920, the University started at the camps in Aligarh in a result or say, in support of the non-coopera�on movement of Gandhi Ji. The fearless, and brave students le� their studies at Aligarh for the cause of the na�on and supported the freedom heroes, against Bri�shers. T h e i n s � t u � o n w a s estab l i shed to prov ide educa�on to such patrio�c students.

I suppose if the media houses has known the correct history of Jamia they would never call it an� – n a� o n a l . H o w ca n t h e ins�tu�on the founda�on of Which was laid for the na�onal cause, can be an�-na�onal.

38

The forma�on and mo�o of Jamia Millia Islamia

In 1920, Gandhi Ji called out for non coopera�on movement in which all the Bri�sh goods and ins�tu�ons were asked to boyco�. In the response to this movement the Jamia Millia Islamia was founded by the Muslim na�onalist leaders like Maulana Mahmud Hasan, Maulana Muhammad Ali, Hakim Ajmal Khan, Dr. Mukhtar Ahmad Ansari and Abdul Majid Khwaja, because they were not happy with the Aligarh Muslim University's decision to bar its students and teachers from par�cipa�ng in the Non-Coopera�on and Khilafat Movement.

Jamia Millia was conceived in 1920 as the confluence of Islam and Indian Na�onalism and as a forum for Hindu-Muslim unity and understanding. T h e i d e a b e h i n d t h e establishment was to impart free educa�on that is to be a synthesis of Islamic and Modern educa�on with an independent atmosphere w i t h o u t a n y a i d a n d interference of the Bri�sh government. The basis of this idea is the belief that a true educa�on of their religion and modernity will imbibe in Indian Muslims a love for their country and a p a s s i o n f o r n a � o n a l integra�on, and prepare them to take ac�ve part in seeking independence and progress for India. This is why it is said that Jamia took upon the triple task of Islamic educa�on, modern educa�on and na�onalism, i.e., the combina�on of three

(1)apparatus to form a new nuance.

Ini�ally, it was established in Aligarh (which was then part of the United Province) but shi�ed in 1925 to Karol Bagh (Delhi) and finally moved to Okhla (New Delhi) in 1935. Since then, Jamia has become a central university by an act of Parliament in 1988.

government. The basis of this idea is

the belief that a true educa�on of

their religion and modernity will

imbibe in Indian Muslims.

““


39

In it's ini�al days Jamia even faces a lot of financial crisis but it never came to halt. It was Mahatma Gandhi who insisted Hakim Ajmal Khan to not close it down in 1925. He said, “If you are facing a financial crisis, I am ready to beg.”

The curriculum of Jamia was also designed in such a way that it provides the Islamic as well as modern educa�on at the same �me.

Jamia founders brought the three expressions together and incorporated it in its Curriculum, placed emphasis on the mother tongue of the learner, but instruc�on may be imparted through the medium of other languages as well, for the purpose to create both a good Muslim as well as a

(2)good ci�zen of India.

Though, founded by Muslims Jamia was Muslim only in name, the presence of several Hindu and Chris�an teachers tell us that the atmosphere of Jamia was mixed and cosmopolitan.

“Jamia is a lusty child of the Non-coopera�on Movement” as once Pt. JawaharLal Nehru described it. Dozens of Hindu students from Assam, Bengal and Punjab flocked to Jamia. Meanwhile, Hindu and Muslim students not only studied together, but ate and lived together. Several teachers le� their homes to serve Jamia some of them were P. S. Gupta, Surya Kant Shastri, and D. P. Singal, and A. J. Kellat, etc. Arrangements had also been made to teach not just Hindu theology but also Hindi to those who did not study Urdu.

Jamia : Na�onal or an�-na�onal

A�er the event of December 2019 in Jamia, many people blamed Jamia. The students of the university were considered traitors and against Na�on. In some cases , students faced harsh treatment , brutality by Police and many other officials. The media spread all the hatred among the public too. But They forget that,

“Here, conscience is the beacon light

And conscience is the guide

Here is the Mecca of heart resides the guide faith

Ceaseless movement is our faith

And blasphemy it is to stay s�ll

Here, the des�ned goal is the march on and on

Here the swimming urge seeks


68


40

Newer and newer storms(3)Restless wave itself is our resurrected shore.”

This is the aim of JAMIA . It is an ins�tu�on which never subside by the outside forces. It is the ins�tu�on which always stand for India. It is the ins�tu�on which never tolerate oppression. From the very beginning, it's founda�on were laid by na�onalist Muslims. It's first batch consists of students who le� there studies at Aligarh Muslim university to support The non coopera�on movement.

Jamia has been headed by several na�onalist leaders like Mukhtar Ansari who w e n t o n t o b e c o m e President of Indian Na�onal Congress session in 1927 and Zakir Husain who later

rdserved as the 3 President of India between 13 May 1967 to 3 May 1969.

The riots at the �me of par��on shook the na�on but Jamia remain s� l l . Gandhi Ji called it “an oasis of peace in the Sahara of communal violence”

Jamia always raise its voice against wrong and invalid things in India. But it doesn't means Jamia fails as a university. Jamia's mass communica�on centre, centre for Sarojini Naidu, Centre for Study of Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy , law department etc. Have given many talented youth to India who are now contribu�ng to the na�on while working in their respec�ve fields.

The library of Jamia is also among the best. Recently the librarian of Zakir Husain library , 'Dr. Tariq Ashraf' was awarded as the best librarian for

(4)2019.

41

Jamia's centre for civil service is one of the best in India, from where almost 30-50 students pass every year and were recruited in higher posi�ons.

Jamia MILLIA Islamia even a�er all the turbulence of December 2019, ranked among top 10 universi�es of India in NIRF ranking by the Ministry of human resource and development, in 2020.

Even Jamia is not legging behind in the Corona Virus pandemic situa�on, from free COVID test camps to research for vaccines, Jamia is everywhere.

Despite being through protests, riots, deten�on , the university secured it's posi�on in top ten universi�es. This is the greatest contribu�on of Jamia and its proof of being Na�onal and not an�-na�onal.

Conclusion

Jamia works with vision to prepare a roadmap for Indians , to secure there future from discrimina�ons and turbulences. And this is normal, if one raises it's voice against wrong, it would be blamed first. But at the end the truth wins. Jamia has gone through a lot in these 100 years but, Jamia from the very beginning contributed for the na�on and will always do. A�er all,

This is the land of my hopes

This is land of my dreams.

The word "Educa�on" has only nine alphabets but the meaning of this word is very deep. Educa�on is must for our society so that we can do good things like maintaining peace in the society, how

to behave with elders, how to treat with children and how to manage everything in

proper way. Without Educa�on a person is nothing we don't even know who we are? What we have to do? Why we c a m e i n t h i s w o r l d ? . We c a n understand all these things if we have educa�on. Educa�on removes us from darkness towards light.

In the educa�on there is a contribu�on of various schools and colleges and one of among themes is Jamia Millia Islamia. Jamia is one of the top most Universi�es in present �me.This is all because of the hardwork of teachers and students .The

every year many students from Jamia are selected for UPSC and many in other fields like .Phd,BDS etc and later they serve the na�on, They get all kind of knowledge from Jamia.

We can serve na�on when we understand tha true meaning of educa�on and Jamia is one among them who taught us the real sense of educa�on.Educa�on is not only about jobs. Educa�on is ethics, which teaches us how to live in a society."Only a educated person can change a evil society toward good society". Some�mes we have conflicts too .At cri�cal �mes we corporated with our management and they cooperated with us and may be this is the reason We are on the top of the all universi�es. In my opinion Jamia is a place where I cry, where I laugh, where I enjoy. Or either I can call my second home.

At the end they few lines I wrote by myself for my home (Jamia)
