Book- Cosmopolitan Cleric-JAMAL MIAN - SAWANEH UMRI MAULANA JAMALUDDIN ABDUL WAHAB FARANGI MAHALL (1919-2012).

Professor Francis Robinson, a British historian, has written several books on the subject of Islam in South Asia. More than an account of a Muslim scholar with international repute and reach, Jamal Mian's biography is a bittersweet portrayal of a cosmopolitan cleric, who throws principles overboard in pursuit of worldly gains. Holding the inherited mantle of Farangi Mahall, Jamal Mian completed the four levels of madrassa education and entered politics at the age of 18 when he was precipitately asked by Muhammad Ali Jinnah to address the 25th session of the All-India Muslim League in Lucknow in 1937.
