Mission To Afghanistan and Soviet Russia of Mawlana Ubaydullah Sindhis

MISSION TO AFGHANISTAN AND SOVIET RUSSIA

The problem before me is to bring into bold relief and reconstruct from the hitherto scattered and contradictory mass of material, a coherent, meaningful, analytical, and balanced account of the political career of Mawlana “Ubayd Allah Sindhi (1872- 1944); more specifically his mission to Afghanistan and Soviet — Russia.

This mission was undertaken in the 2nd decade of the early 20th century, a time of international crisis and inter-imperialistic contradictions.

The Indian Muslim leadership endeavored to capitalize on this situation; they ensured that the golden opportunity which had knocked at their doors did not go wasted.

Consequently, they strove to pulverize British Imperialism by spearheading a multiplicity of conspiratorial movements. One such movement was the “silk-letter movement” in which “Ubayd Allah Sindhi was the central character or figure.

In the main, though, we will be analyzing the various dimensions of Sindhi’smission, his story, however, will not be complete without taking into account his broad conceptual system encompassing secular, rational, and philosophical trends as well the impact of his mission upon his subsequent thought and career.
