Scholar & Historian Nasim Yousaf’s Books About the Author: Nasim Yousaf is a scholar, historian, and intellectual. He comes from a famous family of the Indian sub-continent and is a grandson of the pre-eminent Allama Mashriqi (world renowned scholar, mathematician, and founder of the Khaksar Tehrik). He is also a nephew of globally recognized social scientist Dr. Akhtar Hameed Khan (both Allama Mashriqi and Dr. A.H. Khan were nominated for the Nobel Prize - Mashriqi for Literature for his book “Tazkirah” and Dr. Khan for Peace for his rural development and poverty alleviation projects).

Mr. Yousaf has thus far written ten books, six on the history of the Indian sub-continent and four on import and export. Both sets of books offer a unique contribution; his books on history uncover many hidden facts on the freedom of the Indian sub-continent, while his publications on trade help to increase the export of apparel, textiles, hand knotted rugs, housewares, gifts and decorative accessories from different parts of the world. In 2010, his book, Government of British India on Allama Mashraqi and Khaksar Tehreek (Movement): A Select Chronology; A descriptive timeline of the correspondence of the Secretary of State, Viceroy of India, Provincial Governors, and high officials, intelligence reports, and other events. Focal period: 1930s and 40s was published. This publication is an unprecedented undertaking and provides a valuable contribution to the historiography of South Asia. It is a useful tool for researchers, educationalists, students, and journalists conducting research on the emergence of two independent states: Pakistan and India.

In addition to his books, Mr. Yousaf has also published many thought provoking articles and has presented research papers in scholarly conferences in the USA. His articles have been published in globally renowned publications such as “Harvard Asia Quarterly” and

3

“World History Encyclopedia” (USA), and in various newspapers in Bangladesh, Canada, India, Norway, Pakistan, Sweden, United Kingdom, and the USA. Mr. Yousaf’s published works have changed the complexion of the current history of the Indian sub-continent and have added a new dimension to the independence episode. His research has compelled historians to re-visit the history of the region and correct the fabrication and elimination of many important facts. He continues his research today and has a number of forthcoming projects, including an important book entitled Mahatma Gandhi & My Grandfather, Allama Mashriqi. This upcoming title will discuss the role of Mashriqi and Gandhi in the freedom movement, their political differences, and the true driving force behind the liberation of British India in 1947.

Recognizing Mr. Yousaf’s achievements, “Marquis Who’s Who” (America's biographer since 1899) had previously published his biography in "Who’s Who in the World" (2001, 2003, 2004) and "Who’s Who in America" (2002).

Book Title:

Hidden Facts Behind British India’s Freedom: A Scholarly Look into Allama Mashraqi and Quaid-e-Azam’s Political Conflict • Author: Nasim Yousaf • Retail Price US $39.99 (FOB) • Year published: August, 2007 • Language: English • ISBN: 978-0-9760333-8-7 • Library of Congress Control Number: 2007903503 • Hard cover • Number of pages: 440 • Publisher: AMZ Publications • Published and printed in the USA Subject: Scholarly / Academic: • Asia: Pakistan / India / Bangladesh (Sub-continent) • South Asia • History • Political History • Politics & Government • Politicians • Freedom Movement • Khaksar Movement (Khaksar Tehrik/ Tehreek) • Allama Inayatullah Khan Al-Mashriqi • Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah • Founder of Pakistan • All- India Muslim League

Book Description: Allama Mashraqi (Inayatullah Khan) and Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, two eminent 20th century personalities of the Indian sub-continent, fought for freedom — the former for an undivided and the latter for a divided British India. The political controversy between these two leaders over the partition of the Indian sub-continent is an extremely important topic from the independence movement’s perspective. This work discusses Allama Mashraqi’s rigorous efforts to prevent the Muslims and India from being divided, while Quaid-e-Azam remained focused on the partition of India.

Separation divided the country and the Muslims into three parts, and the majority of 100 million Muslims became second-class citizens in their own homeland. To nationalist leaders of the time (who were anti-partition), Quaid-e-Azam was playing in the hands of 10

the British; and the gilded gentry of All-India Muslim League (AIML) had no history of serving the masses and partition was a short cut to their ambition. Did the British use the AIML, and was a truncated Pakistan a parting kick of the British to weaken the Muslims?

And why did the British never imprison AIML leadership, if the AIML was truly fighting to end their rule?

Many other intriguing questions arise that have yet to satisfy a logical mind. For instance, why did the British deny recognition of all Muslim parties, except AIML, and never sought their points of view? Why did the AIML insist on division, when Pakistan could not safeguard 100 million Muslims? Why was it necessary to create Pakistan out of Muslim majority provinces where they were already in power? Were nationalists, who were anti-partition, lacking in vision or apathetic to the future of the Muslims? Why has the nationalist point of view of an undivided India been kept concealed (libraries are kept empty of their material), and why has the public only been reading the AIML’s perspective?

This book brings these questions to light and presents Mashraqi’s point of view. The author uncovers facts that are not easy to dispute and unearths the falsehood, the twisting and manipulation of facts and the propaganda surrounding the freedom movement. It reveals the hidden truths behind the creation of Pakistan and shatters misconceptions regarding the history of the Indian sub-continent.

Key Feature: It is a first book of its kind that talks about the political differences between Allama Mashraqi (founder of the Khaksar Movement) and Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah (founder of Pakistan).

Audience: The audience of the book is not only in the USA and Indian sub-continent but also in many parts of the world. This publication is an immense source of information for scholarly studies, Islamic and revolutionary, freedom movements, and Pakistan-India history. The audience includes: • Public, universities and colleges libraries across the globe • Research Institutions/libraries on South Asian countries • Research Institutions/libraries on Islamic movements • Professors & students on research project on the freedom of Pakistan and India • Historians/researchers/authors • Journalists and public media • Others interested in Indo-Pak history

Book Title:

Pakistan's Freedom & Allama Mashriqi: Statements, Letters, Chronology of Khaksar Tehrik (Movement), Period: Mashriqi's Birth to 1947 Editor: Nasim Yousaf • Retail Price US $39.99 (FOB) • Year published: August, 2004 • Language: English • ISBN: 0976033305 • Library of Congress Control Number: 2004106195 • Hard cover • Number of pages: 372 • Publisher: AMZ Publications • Published and printed in the USA Subject: Academic: • Asia: Pakistan / India / Bangladesh (SubContinent) • South Asia • History • Political History • Politics & Government • Politicians • Freedom Movement • Khaksar Movement (Khaksar Tehrik/Tehreek) • Mashriqi (Mashraqi) Allama Khan Inayatullah Book Description: Allama Mashriqi, one of the founding fathers of Pakistan, was one of the greatest scholars and leaders of the 20th century. Pakistan’s Freedom & Allama Mashriqi is a timeline of events surrounding this giant among men and his Khaksar Tehrik (also known as the Khaksar Movement).

Mashriqi, a genius, broke records at the Cambridge University (U.K.) and emerged as a world-renowned mathematician and scholar. It is believed that his academic records at the Cambridge University are yet to be broken. He held the position of Under Secretary (Education Dept.) in British India. Prior to partition, the British offered him title of Knighthood and Ambassadorship; he declined both offers. Mashriqi was also among great writers, and his monumental work is Tazkirah (nominated for Nobel Prize), which presents a scientific view of the Holy Quran. After resigning from the government service, Mashriqi founded the Khaksar Tehrik in 1930. This Movement created history

12

and led to the freedom of the Indian subcontinent and the emergence of Pakistan and India.

Pakistan’s Freedom & Allama Mashriqi is the result of almost a decade of exhaustive research by Mr. Nasim Yousaf ( grandson of Allama Mashriqi ). It is one of the most important documents in Indo-Pak history that has ever been produced on the Khaksar Movement. This work will go a long way in unveiling many hidden facts surrounding independence, as Pakistan and India’s history remains incomplete and imperfect without discussing the Khaksar Movement’s role toward freedom.

This chronology goes far beyond merely listing dates of events; it includes important correspondence, resolutions, press statements, official communiqués, photos, and much more. This work allows the reader to get an undistorted and factual understanding of Mashriqi and the Khaksars’ unparalleled resistance and suffering that mobilized the nation for freedom. Pakistan’s Freedom & Allama Mashriqi is an eye-opener and an immense source of information for scholarly studies, historians, professors, students, film-makers, journalists, and others interested in Indo-Pak history.

The editor has used credible sources, including non-Khaksar materials. In addition, his personal knowledge provides great insight into the life of Mashriqi and his Movement.

Based on this information, Mr. Yousaf has provided comments wherever needed.

Book Title:

Pakistan's Birth & Allama Mashraqi: Chronology & Statements, Period: 1947-1963 Editor: Nasim Yousaf • Retail Price: US $39.99 (FOB) • Year published: August, 2005 • Language: English • ISBN: 0976033348 • Library of Congress Control Number: 2005932487 • Hard cover • Number of pages: 364 • Publisher: AMZ Publications • Published and printed in the USA Subject: Academic: • Asia: Pakistan / India / Bangladesh (Sub-continent) • South Asia • History • Political History • Politics & Government • Politicians • Freedom Movement • Khaksar Movement (Khaksar Tehrik/Tehreek) • Mashriqi (Mashraqi) Allama • Khan Inayatullah Book Description: Allama Mashraqi (Inayatullah Khan), sage of the East, was among few courageous leaders who bravely fought for the independence of India that resulted in the creation of Pakistan and India. Mashraqi’s role prior to and after the partition of India is vital to the history of the Indian sub-continent. He was founder of Khaksar Tehreek (Movement) (founded in 1930) and Islam League (founded after independence). Mashraqi devoted his life to the uplift of the common man. He was not only an outstanding leader of the 20th century but also one of the greatest revolutionaries, visionaries, scholars, and mathematicians that emerged in that part of the world.

Mashraqi’s genius was proven when early on when he set unprecedented academic records at the Cambridge University (U.K.). There he completed four Triposes in five years with distinction. He was declared a Bachelor Scholar, Foundation Scholar and a Wrangler. It is believed that his academic records at this University are yet to be surpassed. He returned to India after his education and within a few years, in 1917, at age 14

29, he was appointed Under Secretary (Education Dept.) in British India. The British offered him Ambassadorship to Afghanistan in 1920 and the title of Sir in 1921.

However, he declined both offers, and opted to represent and fight for the masses.

Mashraqi was also among great speakers and writers, and his monumental work is “Tazkirah” (“Tazkira”) an interpretation of the Holy Quran from a scientific perspective.

Indeed, these credentials speak of a man born with astounding skills and exceptional abilities. Such personalities are born once in centuries.

Mashraqi’s followers and supporters ran in millions. He passed away in 1963 and well over 100,000 people came to attend his funeral and mourn his demise. With his death, an important chapter of Pakistan and India’s history closed, as he played a vital role in both the pre- and post- independence eras. Though Mashraqi passed away, people will continue to be inspired by this legendary personality.

“Pakistan’s Birth & Allama Mashraqi” is a time line of events surrounding this giant among men, his political activities, and his parties. This publication is a result of exhaustive research on this subject that Mr. Yousaf, Mashraqi’s grandson, has been carrying on for over a decade. This work includes important dates, events, press statements, information on court proceedings, photos, and more. It also provides additional insight through the editor’s comments. It is one of the most comprehensive and important pieces that the editor has published on Mashraqi and his parties. It is a great source of information for scholars, researchers, professors, historians, authors, journalists, students, movie/documentary makers and anyone else interested in this great personality.

This book is a sequel to “Pakistan’s Freedom and Allama Mashriqi: Statements, Letters, Chronology of Khaksar Tehrik (Movement), Period: Mashriqi’s Birth to 1947.”

Journal Title:

Al-Islah (the Khaksar Tehrik’s weekly) Editor/Compiler: Nasim Yousaf • Retail Price: Contact us • Language: Urdu • Available on: CD • Digital version produced in the USA • Distributor: AMZ Publications Compilation of historic publication of Al-Islah:

Subject: • Asia: Pakistan / India / Bangladesh (Sub-continent) • South Asia • Political History • Politics & Government • Freedom Movement • Khaksar Movement (Khaksar Tehrik/Tehreek) • Mashriqi (Mashraqi) Allama Khan Inayatullah Khan • Journals • Newspapers Description: “Al-Islah” was originally founded in 1934 by Allama Mashriqi (founder of the Khaksar Tehrik) and launched from Lahore. It quickly established a large following, including subscribers in British India, England, Bahrain, Egypt, Nigeria, South Africa, and Saudi Arabia. “Al-Islah” played a key role in spreading Allama Mashriqi and the Khaksar Tehrik’s ideology and helped Mashriqi raise a well-disciplined private army of 5 million.

In addition, “Al-Islah” inspired other Muslim as well as non-Muslim organizations to follow the Khaksar Tehrik and form similar organizations. The newspaper is essential to a complete understanding of the freedom movement because it describes the critical role played by the Khaksar Movement in bringing independence to the nation; without access to this publication, there would remain a large gap in the knowledge of the freedom movement. Thus, the digital compilation of “Al-Islah” is indeed momentous, as it will enable professors, students, researchers, historians and others to further study Allama Mashriqi’s role in the struggle for the freedom of British India and emergence of Pakistan and India as two separate countries.

Appendix – I Book Title:

The Constitution of Free India, 1946 A.C. (reprinted 2008) • A Publication of the Khaksar Movement in British India

• Retail Price: US $49.99 (FOB) • Year published: April, 2008 • Language: English • ISBN: 978-0-9760333-9-4 • Hard cover • Number of pages: 160 • Publisher: Reproduced by AMZ Publications • Published and printed in the USA • Reprinted 2008 Subject: Khaksar Constitution: • Asia: Pakistan / India / Bangladesh (Sub-continent) • South Asia • Constitution • Mashriqi’s Constitution • Khaksar Constitution • Government of Pakistan • Government of India • History • Political History • Politics & Government • Politicians • Freedom Movement • Khaksar Movement (Khaksar Tehrik/Tehreek) • Allama Inayatullah Khan Al-Mashriqi Description: In 1945, Allama Inayatullah Khan Al-Mashriqi, founder of the Khaksar Tehreek, published "The Constitution of Free India, 1946 A.C." Also known as the Mashriqi Constitution or Khaksar Constitution, the document was created in order to prevent the partition of India.

33

The Constitution was formulated, under Mashriqi's guidance, by eminent personalities and intellectuals from various disciplines, such as politics, finance, and administration and law. The result was a monumental work that accommodated the rights of all — including Muslims, Hindus, Scheduled Castes, Sikhs, Jains, Parsees, Budhists, Jews and Christians. According to Mashriqi: “We addressed almost every important element of India’s national life requesting it to send its declaration of interests so that in case the interests did not clash with those of other parties in the country they might be incorporated in the body of the Constitution ‘as far as possible, feasible and consistent with the interests of other parties.’ We addressed more or less 75 parties and over three hundred million people in the country accepted our invitation through their accredited leaders.”*

By December of 1945, 50,000 copies of the Constitution had been printed. Ultimately, however, the Constitution was not adopted for political reasons, and British India was subsequently partitioned in 1947. Nevertheless, The Constitution of Free India, 1946 A.C. serves as a lasting example of the Khaksars' efforts to bring the nation together — and how close they came to achieving the vision of a united, independent India. *Source: Mashriqi's address at the University Institute Hall, Calcutta on October 21, 1945, entitled Where Leaders Fail: A Dispassionate Dissection of Indian Politics from a Non-Party Point of View

Foreword By Nasim Yousaf "The Constitution of Free India, 1946 A.C." (also known as the Khaksar Constitution or Mashriqi Constitution) was a monumental document, as it attempted to unite all parties in British India, and strived for the equal protection of the rights of both the majority and minority communities in the country.

Published in 1945, the document was constructed under the auspices of the Khaskar Tehrik. Legal Committees — comprised of a broad cross-section of prominent personalities, including famous politicians, Members of the Legislative Assembly, professors, finance professionals, administration and law experts, journalists, and knighthood holders — were formed to frame the Constitution.

Once created, the Constitution was highly publicized and sent to political leaders, British authorities, and others. In fact, acceptance of the Constitution was a prerequisite for candidates who wished to be part of the Khaksar party ticket for the 1945-1946 elections (see the Appendix for a copy of the form candidates were asked to sign).

34

Ultimately, "The Constitution of Free India, 1946 A.C." was not adopted, and the nation was partitioned in 1947. The repercussions of this action reverberated far beyond that year. Partition resulted in the separation of millions of families and divided the nation into three parts. It has led to endless animosity between Pakistan and India, and numerous conflicts, including escalating nuclear tensions and the ongoing Kashmir issue. Countless lives have been lost. Perhaps these dire consequences could have been avoided had the Khaksar Constitution — which accommodated the needs of all communities — been accepted and a united demand for independence of British India put forth.
