### Interpretations of Jihad in South Asia, An Intellectual History, 2018

    Tariq Rahman - Interpretations of Jihad in South Asia_ An Intellectual History-de Gruyter (2018)
* It may be instructive to recall that his father, Shāh‘Abdul Raḥīm, could have been his role model in the matter of writing letters to powerful princes to undertake jihad. For it was the pater familias who wrote a letter to Mīr Qamar al-Dīn Khān Ṣiddīqī popularly known as Āṣaf Jāh (1671–1748), the pioneer of the Deccan based state whose rulers were called Niẓāms, exhorting him to undertake jihad to weaken the infidels. ‘Abdul Raḥīm begins his letter with the assertion that it has already been decided that the infidels (kuffār) will be defeated and humiliated and if Āṣaf Jāh wants to take credit for this he should defeat them. He ends on the mystical note that ‘things said even with confidantes in secret are being revealed here on the tip of the pen so that no excuse should remain’.
# Shah Alam II

Shah Alam II (25 June 1728 – 19 November 1806), also known as Ali Gauhar, was the eighteenth Mughal Emperor. A son of the Alamgir II, he escaped to Allahabad in December 1759 and later successfully defended the throne from the traitorous Imad-ul-Mulk, who appointed Shah Jahan III as the emperor. Later, he was nominated as the emperor by his loyal ally Ahmad Shah Durrani after the Third Battle of Panipat.
The Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II, was blinded in the year 1788, by the renegade eunuch Ghulam Qadir.

## Quote

* Shah Alam II once remarked: "In reality, various kinds of unbecoming things do happen in my reign, and the people of God loudly say: In the reign of this blind king we suffer from atrocities'. How then do I desrve to be called a king".
* Shah Alam II once remarked: None could dare to see the combat either of the camels or of the elephants among the Hindu chiefs. The sole exception was made in the case of Raja Jai Singh Sawai, who was permitted by Mohammad Shah after taking from huge amount as tribute.
* "Bravery is better than magnanimity".

## Quotes about Shah Alam II

* The respect toward the house of Timur is so strong that even though the whole subcontinent has been withdrawn from its authority, that no ordinary prince ever intends to take the title of sovereign...and Shah Alam II is still seated on the Mughal throne, and everything is still done in his name.
** Benoît de Boigne, 1790.

## Quotes

* May God revenge the atrocities of the Sikhs and the Marathās, A painful revenge and very soon They (both) have killed a large number of people, And have committed atrocities even against the illiterate shepherds.
** Letter to his uncle Shāh Ahl-Allāh quoted in Tariq Rahman - Interpretations of Jihad in South Asia_ An Intellectual History-de Gruyter (2018)

## About

* ‘Abdul ‘Azīz did write an exegesis of the Qur’an in Persian but the part of it which survives does not cover the crucial verses about jihad. His religious edicts (fatāwā) do, however, constitute a landmark development in the way discourses about jihad shaped up in South Asia till independence. Moreover, his letters, like those of his father’s, also provide insights into how he reacted to the loss of Muslim political power in the colonial era. ... His work represents a compromise between confrontation and accommodation of British power in India.

# Root race

Root races are stages in human evolution in the esoteric cosmology of theosophist Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, as described in her book The Secret Doctrine (1888). These races existed mainly on now-lost continents. Blavatsky's model was developed by later theosophists, most notably William Scott-Elliot in The Story of Atlantis (1896) and The Lost Lemuria (1904). Annie Besant further developed the model in Man: Whence, How and Whither (1913). Both Besant and Scott-Elliot relied on information from Charles Webster Leadbeater obtained by "astral clairvoyance". Further elaboration was provided by Rudolf Steiner in Atlantis and Lemuria (1904). Rudolf Steiner, and subsequent theosophist authors, have called the time periods associated with these races Epochs (Steiner felt that the term "race" was not adequate anymore for modern humanity).

## Quotes

* The Theosophical ideas on race were fanciful and are best forgotten, but they did not imply any need for extermination, nor (unlike the ideas of contemporaneous biologists) for eugenic experiments, and in any case no one ever showed that they were invoked by the planners or commanders of Treblinka. It is defamatory nonsense to say that Theosophy "led to" Nazi racial policies.
** Elst, K. (2010). The saffron swastika: The notion of "Hindu fascism". p 838
* In the case of Theosophy, a movement suppressed by the Nazi regime, its mere use of the term "race", as in the "seven root races", is now held against it, but is actually sharply distinct from Nazi racism... the key concept of "root races", though sufficient proof of "racism" for mediocre calumniators, is not a division of mankind in races, unequal or otherwise... Theosofascism-monger René Zwaap [claims:] "That doesn't alter the fact that the Aryan doctrine was a key concept in Blavatsky's Secret Doctrine."... I don't think too highly of the Theosophical doctrine, both laborious and confused, but in such clashes my sympathies are with the rank-and-file Theosophists, who are hurt by Mr. Zwaap's calumny and make humble attempts to set the record straight.

# Sikandar Shah

Abul Mujāhid Sikandar Shāh (Bengali: আবুল মুজাহিদ সিকান্দর শাহ, Persian: ابو المجاهد سكندر شاه‎), commonly known as Sikandar Shah; was the second Sultan of Bengal and the Ilyas Shahi dynasty. He was the son of Shamsuddin Ilyas Shah. Sikandar Shah continued to project the imperial ambitions of his father. He defeated the Sultan of Delhi in 1359. His reign is also noted for its grandiose architectural projects.

## Quotes

* The Adina (Friday) mosque at Padua, the largest in medieval India, was built by Sultan Sikandar Shah (r. 1358-89), son and successor of Shams ud din Ilyas Shah (r. 1352-58), founder of the Ilyas Shahi dynasty. An inscription on the mosque dated 1375 ce proclaimed Sikandar Shah as “the most perfect of the Sultans of Arabia and Persia ...”. That was an open declaration that the political and cultural orientation of the Ilyas Shahi kings “lay, not in Delhi or Central Asia, but much further to the west — in Mecca, Medina, Shiraz, and ancient Ctestiphon.” There was no reference to any sovereign of the Indian subcontinent “where he was actually ruling”.

# Sikh holidays and festivals

Quotes about festivals observed by the followers of the Sikh religion.

## Quotes

* Long after the monsoons cease in the plains of northern India and half the lunar year is over, there comes the widely-celebrated festival of Diwali, held on the day of the new moon in the month of Kattak. The raison d’étre of this festival of lights is so well known that it needs no explication.*” What may be recounted is how the festival crystallized into ‘the greatest festival of the Sikhs’.88 According to Sikh tradition the sixth guru, Hargobind Singh, on his release from Gwalior fort by the Mughal authorities, arrived in the city of Amritsar accompanied by fifty-two chieftains. The residents of the city were greatly elated and since then have celebrated the day of the festival with jubilation.
** Harjot Oberoi - The Construction of Religious Boundaries_ Culture, Identity, and Diversity in the Sikh Tradition (1994, University of Chicago Press) 314
* Finally, a sustained campaign was launched to prevent Sikhs from taking part in festivals like Holi and Diwali. These were deemed un-Sikh festivities and an effort was made to replace them with innovations that would commemorate key events from the Sikh past. Babu Teja Singh made the most systematic proposals along these lines.
** Harjot Oberoi - The Construction of Religious Boundaries_ Culture, Identity, and Diversity in the Sikh Tradition (1994, University of Chicago Press) 314
* A most spectacular sign of the success of popular opposition to Tat Khalsa hegemony comes from the domain of festive cycles. As stated previously, there had been a persistent campaign against Sikh participation in festivals like Holi and Diwali.
** Harjot Oberoi - The Construction of Religious Boundaries_ Culture, Identity, and Diversity in the Sikh Tradition (1994, University of Chicago Press) 314
* But people refused to abandon festivities linked inextricably to the agrarian cycle and north Indian culture.° To renounce Holi celebrations, for instance, would have implied giving up a period of carnival, a time when indigenous society tolerated role reversal and the inversion of rigid social norms. Of all the groups within civil society, the non-elites were most unwilling to forgo this festival; it was the time of year when they took centre-stage without fear of reprisal. If the definitions of Sikh communal life had been left to the Tat Khalsa, the community today would have been without either the Holi or the Diwali festivities.

# Sikandar Hayat Khan (Punjabi politician)

Khan Bahadur Captain Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan, KBE, MBE (Mil.) (5 June 1892 – 25/26 December 1942), also written Sikandar Hyat-Khan or Sikandar Hyat Khan, was a statesman from the Punjab. He held the office of Prime Minister of the Punjab among other positions.

## Quotes

* Sir Sikander , usually so calm and suave , after listening for a few minutes turned upon me , his eyes blazing with indignation and took me to task with these words: 'Surely you can see that Pakistan would be an invitation to them to cut the throat of every Hindu bania.'

## Quotes about Khan

* As a matter of fact, that astute politician, the late Sir Sikandar Hyat Khan, Premier of the Punjab from 1937 to the end of 1942, suggested in vain to his Muslim League colleagues not to press for a formal division of India into independent states, but to ask only for the creation of Hindu and Muslim zones within an Indian Federation with a weak centre, as that would give the Muslims all the advantages of Pakistan without the liabilities, financial and political, of having an independent State, which would be deprived of the rich economic backing of the more productive parts of India. He and his Unionist Party succeeded to a great extent in making the Punjab very much a Muslim province. Protests of Hindu and Sikh politicians and legislators were of no avail. Sir Sikandar died in the December of 1942, and his death removed from the field of Muslim politics perhaps the only, if any, figure who could have successfully helped to modify at least some of the extreme theories of Mr. Jinnah. His successor, Sir Khizar Hyat Khan, although a capable man and one who got ample support from Hindus and Sikhs as against the rabid Punjab Muslim League, became as time passed, altogether helpless to resist the onslaught of the League on his party and the Hindu and Sikh minorities of the Punjab.
