Ubaid-Allah Sindhi is among those very few political thinkers
and activists of the twentieth-century India who were initially
associated with the traditional theological seminaries but their
political vision was marked by liberalism and openmindedness. He established a non-communal political party—
Mahabharat Sarvrajia Party in 1924 in order to translate his
political ideals into practice. The Party Constitution envisaged
the idea of a unique form of confederal form of government for
the country. It also presented an outline of a socio-economic
order which was derived from a reconciliation of Socialist
ideals with the Quran and Shah Wali-Allahi thought. However,
he is among one of the least understood and often
misinterpreted Muslim thinkers of India. Thus, there is a need
to appreciate and reevaluate the political modernism in his
thought and vision.
