About Jamiat Ulma I Hind
Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, though formally launched in 1919, was an inheritor of a rich legacy dating back to early 18th century when Shah Waliullah of Delhi led a revolution to change the whole system by drawing the attention of people to the depredations of European imperialism, degeneration and corruption among oriental rulers.
In November 1919, the revolutionary Ulama on the occasion of the Khilafat Conference held at Delhi, resolved to constitute a new organization for carrying on non-violent freedom struggle in cooperation with fellow countrymen. The organization was designated as 'Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind'. Mufti-e-Azam, Maulana Kifayatullah was elected as the first President.
The establishment of the organization was a decisive turning point in their revolutionary movement. They gave up armed struggle and chose non-violent struggle and adopted non-co-operation. That strategy eventually led to freedom of the country.
