Fine English Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In English. [xvi], 246 p. The Turkish War of Independence and the Independencce Struggle of the South Asian muslims: The Khilafat movement, (1919-1924). Translated from Turkish by Oya Akgönenç Mughisuddin. In the early part of the 20th century, both South Asian muslims and the Anatolian muslims were suffering from cruelty and pain inflicted by the foreign powers in collaboration with the non-Muslim populations in the two regions. Both the muslim Turks and the South Asian muslims were suffering agonies in the lands where they were or had been the 'Ruling Nations'. Between the years 1919-1924, Turkey, with a great deal of human and material sacrifices, managed to remain an independent country. In the same period, the South Asian muslims set their course firmly toward freedom and independence. During his historical period, Islam linked the two countries together, Islam was not just a common belief but a philosophy that gave birth and substance to the struggle for independence. Thus, the Turks and the South Asian muslims were joined together by the common struggle for freedom concelved and nurtured by the Islamic factor. This study concentrates on the Khilafat Movemenet in South Asia. Those activities of the Khilafat Movement that coincided with Turkish interest had been highlighted in the study. Also, the role of Islam in the struggle for freedom in South Asia and Islam's role (if any) in the Turkish struggle for independence will be discussed and analyzed in this book.

History and architecture.= Masjid Vazîr Khân, Lâhaur kâ tafsîlî aksî mutala'ah. "Before the construction of the Wazir Khan Mosque in Lahore, the largest mosque in the city was the Begam Shahi Majid, which was built in 1613 by emperor Jahangir in memory of his mother Maryam Zamani on the eastern side of Lahore Fort. Another congregational mosque in the heart of the city was badly needed. This was built by Wazir Khan in 1634 during the reign of Shah Jahan. It is situated just inside Delhi Gate and is built on the site of the ancient shrine of Shaikh Ishaq Gazruni (d. 1386). The mosque is a great architectural achievement. Several early European scholars realised its importance as a glowing example of Muslim architecture and the embellishment on its walls attracted particular attention. An effort is made here to describe the finer architectural points of this historical mosque.". (From preface by Chaghatai). 3 copies in OCLC.
