A Voice from the Margins: An Appraisal of Ubaid-Allah Sindhi’s Mahabharat Sarvrajia Party and its Constitution

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 open-mindedness. 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.
