category there were scholars who were traditionalists and on the other side those
thinkers who revolutionized the society and responded in the tendency of time.
The society confronted with these two types of scholars/ulama in socio and religiospheres. Mulla Marwat(1879-1940) is one of the very important and prominent

role in the Socio-political cross-currents in the NWFP. He remained active
mobiliser of JUH/S and Khaksars in the first half of the twentieth century. He
associated to JUH/S as well as a devoted leader of Khaksar movement in the
1940s. His life representing both sides and he was labeled as close to British

This paper deals with the career, services and contributions of Mulla Marwat as
well as touching some of the controversial issues surrounded his personality. The
N.W.F.P. history molded by different kinds of Ulama who played a role according
to their own perception as sometimes pro and sometimes anti-British. Mulla
Marwat was among those who were considered to have played a part in linking
Jmiat ul Ulama Sarhad to the British Indian administration. The work is based on
the Political and Secret files of British Library London, Cunningham Diaries,
India Office Record of the British Library, Peshawar archives, personal
collections of Ulama and interviews of the learned people and followers of Mulla
