Although the failure of the 1857 uprising against British colonial rule spelled some serious set-backs for both communities, the post-1857 scenario witnessed a highly prolific, even frantic, intellectual activity among many Hindu and Muslim scholars and theologians.</p><p class="">A prominent Hindu reformist movement by the name of Arya Samaj emerged, which attempted to organise the historically scattered and highly diversified nature of Hinduism, into a cohesive whole. The idea was to propagate a (largely mythical) strand of an ancient Vedic form of Hinduism which the Samaj claimed was originally monolithic and “more pristine.” </p><p class="">Initial British understanding of Hinduism was of a faith that was an accumulated collection of superstitions and certain unsavoury traditions, such as the caste system and sati (a former practice in India whereby a widow threw herself on to her husband’s funeral pyre). Samaj ideologues responded to this by claiming that Hinduism was a highly evolved faith that had been contaminated when the Hindus lost political power from the 12th century onward.</p><blockquote> <p class="">A 19th-century Muslim modernist wrote a bold, pro-women book which was never reprinted</p></blockquote> <p class=""> Samaj scholars explained “original” (i.e. Vedic) Hinduism as an enlightened article of faith. The Samaj also claimed that, as a religion, “Hinduism was superior to both Christianity and Islam.” It is within this scholarly and evangelical movement that one can also find the roots of Hindu nationalism. </p><p class="">Similar reformist movements also emerged among the 19th-century Muslim minority of India. There was the “modernist” scholarly tendency pioneered by men such as Syed Ahmed Khan, Syed Ameer Ali and Chiragh Ali, all of whom advocated a rationalist and contemporary interpretation of Islam’s sacred texts and a revisit (and in some cases, a rejection) of long-held traditions. </p><p class="">While this tendency insisted that Islam was inherently compatible with contemporary sciences, economics and many aspects of social modernity, this bent of Muslim reformism would eventually form the politics of Pakistan’s founding party, the All-India Muslim League, in the early and mid-20th century. </p><p class="">Another Muslim reformist tendency that emerged in the same period rejected the abovementioned narrative. Instead, it understood the decline of the social, economic and political status of the Muslims of India as a consequence of the Muslims not following their faith the way they were supposed to.</p><p class="">Scholars associated with this narrative advocated strict implementation of Islamic tenets and rites. They also called for the eradication of rituals which they believed had been adopted by Muslims from other religions. </p><p class="">Even though, ironically, this tendency would evolve to oppose the creation of Pakistan (since it was regarded as a project of “Westernised Muslim modernists”), it managed to seep into Pakistan’s ideological narrative from the late 1970s onward. </p><figure class="media five-eighths palm--one-whole media--center media--uneven media--stretch"> <div class="media__item "><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180225064947im_/https://i.dawn.com/primary/2018/02/5a91e2017da24.jpg" alt=""/></div> </figure> <p> </p><p class="">Much has been written on the works of 19th-century Muslim modernists as well as conservative reformists. Yet, somehow, the name of one rather fascinating scholar and theologian has somehow gone missing — despite the fact that he might have been the most far-sighted. </p><p class="">His name is Maulana Mumtaz Ali whose tome Huqooq-i-Niswan (women’s rights) shocked even his better-known modernist contemporary Syed Ahmed Khan. The book penned in Urdu, in the late 19th century, is remarkably far-sighted in that Mumtaz highlights certain women-related issues that have only now become the subject of open discussion in the larger Muslim world. And yet, this book has hardly ever been reprinted. But in 1967, an abridged translation of the book was made available in 1967 by the well-known academic and author Aziz Ahmad. </p><p class="">What’s even more remarkable is that Maulana Mumtaz originally belonged to the conservative Muslim reformist tendency, before he broke away and became a contemporary of Syed Ahmed Khan. Maulana Mumtaz writes that Islam treats men and women equally because “physical strength is no criterion for superiority.” He adds, “Indeed, women have to perform certain biological functions for which their nervous systems are conditioned, but this is not a proof of their intellectual or biological inferiority.”</p><p class="">He writes that the anti-women perception associated with Islam was the outcome of ancient interpretations of Islam’s sacred texts and was influenced by the antique customary laws that the exegetes were following and living under. </p><p class="">He insists that such interpretations have nothing to do with the true spirit of the sacred texts. On the allowance of polygamy in these texts, Mumtaz argues that when the Muslim holy book says that a man cannot take care of all his wives equally, it is actually cautioning against having more than one wife. </p><p class="">Mumtaz further writes that “(Muslim) female education was a historical necessity.” On the criticism of the time’s ulema that educated women become “immoral,” Mumtaz points out that immorality is not due to educated women, but “mainly because of the distorted impulses of men who are used to segregation.” He predicts that this mindset would change with time.</p><p class="">Without openly advocating that women seek out their husbands for themselves, Mumtaz writes that “marriages in Muslim India are arranged and loveless.” He adds that since most Muslim women were uneducated, they accepted such marriages as their fate and did not know how to address “the tyranny of their husbands” which might be the result in such situations. </p><p class="">On purdah or veiling for women, Mumtaz clarifies that the Islamic concept of purdah is simply about observing modesty by both men and women. He writes that the sacred verses dealing with this concept were directly addressing the 6th and 7th century Arab society and “are thus only relevant to that age and time.” </p><p class="">He, then, makes a rather interesting observation by stating that the kind of purdah being practised by Indian Muslim women in his time (the 19th century) “was a fairly recent development.” Here he is alluding to the burqa. </p><p class="">Maulana Mumtaz was writing in the 19th century so one can assume that the burqa is a 19th -century creation, just as other forms of veiling such as the hijab is a 20th-century innovation. Mumtaz adds that “forcing the veil on women is a flagrant injustice” and against the faith’s spirit and meaning of morality. </p><p class="">On the criticism he faced by those who bemoaned that the emancipation of women would lead them to commit immoral acts, Mumtaz writes that instead of blaming the women, action should be taken against those who treat them as an object of immorality. How relevant is that even today!</p><p class=""><em>Published in Dawn, EOS, February 25th, 2018</em></p> </div> </div>   <div class="template__footer clearfix modifier--open px-1"> <div class="row
