GANDHI'S URDU LETTERS: The Maulana and the Mahatma By Mahmood Jamal Kindle Edition GANDHIS URDU LETTERS: The Maulana and the Mahatma GANDHI’S URDU LETTERS: The Maulana and the Mahatma Mahmood Jamal eBook published by IDEAINDIA.COM © Mahmood Jamal 2008 The correspondence between Maulana Abdul Bari of Firangi Mahal and Mahatma Gandhi (mainly in English) is extensive and deserving of a much longer piece, perhaps even a book. The purpose of this eBook is to put in context the Urdu Letters that Mahatma Gandhi wrote to Maulana Abdul Bari (the author’s grandfather). The letters give us a glimpse of a unique moment in the history of Indian Independence when the Non cooperation movement and Khilafat Movements worked in unison. Maulana Abdul Bari was one of the foremost Islamic scholars of his time. Born in the famous seminary of Firangi Mahal, in Lucknow in 1878, he had inherited the spiritual and intellectual tradition unique in Indian Islam an unbroken and continuous lineage of three hundred years since the settling of the family in Lucknow in 1692. His ancestors were both religious scholars and spiritual leaders and had a wide network of mureeds (followers) and shrines dotted all over UP and North India and further south in Hyderabad and Madras where some important scholars of the family had settled. Maulana Abdul Bari had inherited this network and he himself was a prolific scholar having written over a hundred books, and a teacher and spiritual leader or Pir. These Urdu letters produced here are proof that Mahatma Gandhi not only preached the importance of learning Urdu but also practiced it. The friendship between Maulana Abdul Bari of Firangi Mahal and Mahatma Gandhi is symbolic of a period of Indian history which saw Hindu and Muslim briefly united in the struggle against British colonialism. The author is the grandson of Maulana Abdul Bari and this work provides a unique insight into an extremely controversial period of British and Indian history. Mahmood Jamal was born in Lucknow, In¬dia, in 1948. He is an award winning film maker and poet and is the author of the PENGUIN BOOK OF MODERN URDU POETRY.
