Muslim Revolutionaries and The British 1914-1919

"The Muslim Revolutionaries and the British," is an account of an undercover movement of the Muslims to over throw the British Indian Empire. It relates to the period from August 1914 to September 1939.

The earliest political movement for the liberation of the Indo-Pakistan sub-continent was started by the Muslim Revolutionaries in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. To suppress it the Bengal Regulation III of 1818 was passed which enabled the British rulers to detain a person without trial during peace time. But neither this Regulation, not the State Trials at Malda, at Rajshahi and at other places in the third quarter of that century could exterminate the Muslim anarchists. Several military expeditions were sent to destroy the 'rebel camps' of the revolutionaries who had established settlements in the 'No Man's Land' beyond the British India's North-West Frontier. But these expeditions failed to crush the movement.

The details of the activities of the Muslim revolutionaries have been gathered from the Report of the Sedition Committee of the Government of India, autobiographies, memoirs, and signed articles which have appeared from time to time in various journals and periodicals.
