Muslims against the Muslim League: Critiques of the Idea of Pakistan by Ali Usma

Description: Muslims against the Muslim League by Ali Usman Qasmi, Megan Eaton Robb This book focuses on the critiques of the Muslim League, its concept of the Muslim nation, and the political settlement demanded on its behalf. It studies how the movement for Pakistan inspired a contentious, influential conversation on the definition of the Muslim qaum (nation). FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The popularity of the Muslim League and its idea of Pakistan has been measured in terms of its success in achieving the goal of a sovereign state in the Muslim majority regions of North West and North East India. It led to an oversight of Muslim leaders and organizations which were opposed to this demand, predicating their opposition to the League on its understanding of the history and ideological content of the Muslim nation. This volume takes stock of multiple narratives about Muslim identity formation in the context of debates about partition, historicizes those narratives, and reads them in the light of the larger political milieu of the period. Focusing on the critiques of the Muslim League, its concept of the Muslim nation, and the political settlement demanded on its behalf, it studies how the movement for Pakistan inspired a contentious, influential conversation on the definition of the Muslim nation.
