Abstract

How to build a nation? This debate among the Muslims of the subcontinent arose during the colonial period, Allama Iqbal was of Muslim nationality while Abul Kalam Azad, Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar and Syed Hussain Ahmed Madani were of separate nationalist. Everyone had their own arguments, the goal was that Muslims benefit from gathering under the flag of Muslim nationality or struggling with the platform of united nationality. How can the religious and economic interests of the Muslims of the subcontinent be protected? Maulana Syed Hussain Ahmed Madani was the pioneer of pro-United Nationalists scholars. Maulana Hussain Ahmed Madani, while addressing a gathering in Sadar Bazar, Delhi in 1938, said," "In today's time, nations are formed by blood, not by race or religion. The inhabitants of England are considered a nation However, there are also Jews and Christians.” Allama advocated the unity of Hindus and Muslims but was opposed to a united Indian nationhood. Compared to Allama, Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar who established Jamia Millia, Maulana Azad and Syed Hussain Ahmed Madani were powerful voices regarding united Hindi nationalism. "Maulana Azad, in his address as Congress president in 1940, said," "The common life of our millennials has moulded a united nation." Whether we like it or not, we have now become an Indian nation. The article will present a comparative analysis of Allama's concept of nationhood and the views of Maulana Azad, Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar and Syed Hussain Ahmed Madani.
