Protecting Soviet Muslims
It is a historiographical convention to view interwar debates over the protection of vulnerable populations through the prism of ‘minority rights’, a regime fashioned by European empires, emerging nation states and the League of Nations. This article challenges that convention by widening the lens to recover actors who, in the 1920s–30s, contested the premises of international protection. Taking the transnational debate over the fate of Soviet Mu…
Meat Together
Historians of South Asia have long treated practices related to the consumption of meat—especially cow slaughter—as a flashpoint in late-nineteenth-century Hindu–Muslim conflict. Such clashes carried profound social and political consequences and exposed a shifting nexus between sovereignty and everyday life in post-Mughal North India. Against this backdrop, the present article argues that halal meat—and food more broadly—functioned as a medium o…
Soviet Nationalities Policies and Post-Ottoman State Formation
In 1926, an official delegation of prominent Muslim scholars from the Soviet Union visited Mecca. The delegation came to the holy city just a few months after the Soviet Union had become the first country to recognize the rule of ʿAbd al-ʿAziz ʿAbd al-Rahman al Saʿud (1875–1936; Ibn Saʿud) over the Hijaz. The delegation’s members attended an international Muslim congress, met with Saudi officials, and performed the hajj. Before departing they iss…
Worldmaking in the Hijaz
Between the end of World War I and the Mecca World Muslim Congress of 1926, Soviet officials and Indian Muslim thinkers imagined the possibilities of a post-imperial world through the Hijaz. The All-India Khilafat Committee (AIKC; established 1919), an organization led by prominent Indian Muslim thinkers, and the Soviet Union promoted competing projects to protect the Hijaz, home to some of Islam's holiest shrines, against European imperialism. Y…
Printing Islamic Modernism
This article examines the relationship between Islamic modernism and Arabic print between the Mashriq and Indian subcontinent in the early twentieth century. Seeking to understand how Islamic modernists modified their message as they targeted new audiences, even as they promoted a unilingual program, this article explores the two printed publications in Arabic that emerged from the 1912 journey of Muhammad Rashid Rida (1865–1935), the founder of …
Nahda-izing India
In 1869–70, the celebrated South Asian Muslim intellectual Sayyid Ahmad Khan (1817–98) visited Egypt on his way to England. Khan, one of South Asia's most renowned Muslim thinkers, was the founder of the Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College (est. 1875; hereafter MAO College), a higher education institution in the North Indian town of Aligarh modeled after Oxbridge. Responding to intensified efforts by Hindu organizations to elevate the status of Dev…
Toward a Global Intellectual History of “Minority”
The term minority is today applied to describe beleaguered, persecuted, and exiled people whose subordination is preserved or merely “tolerated” by majoritarian politics inherent to modern states. As this introduction indicates, however, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries minority politics became a rubric for sociopolitical emancipation, providing a framework for intellectuals in colonized Asia and Africa to question European powers' t…
Debating Gandhi in al-Manar during the 1920s and 1930s
M. K. Gandhi’s (d. 1948) impact on and interactions with Arabic-literati in Egypt and the Levant is well known in the historiographies of both South Asia and the Middle East. However, this topic has only been historicized through the lens of Arab nationalism or the Khilafat campaign (1919–24). Focusing on alternative readings of Gandhi in Arabic, this piece explores the debates Gandhi’s thought instigated among three intellectuals affiliated with…
