The Impact of Abdulhamid's Pan-Islamic Policy on Indian Muslims Living Under British Rule

Abstract

The impact of Abdulhamid II's pan-Islamic policies on Indian Muslims living in British colonies in the late 19th century is examined in this study. This multidimensional study contextualizes Indian Muslims' experiences under British colonial rule through historical analysis, archival sources, and diplomatic documents. The literature review explores the Sultan's participation in late 19th-century pan-Islamic movements, while the introduction summarizes Abdulhamid II's pan-Islamic aspirations. The next parts examine the practices of British colonialism against Indian Muslims, the body of study on the subject's connection to Abdulhamid's pan-Islamic goal, and the research approach, which places a strong emphasis on the analysis of primary sources. Results show how the spread of pan-Islamic concepts has an impact on the politics, culture, and educational attainment of Indian Muslims. The study focuses on how Abdulhamid's theories were received differently, how they were incorporated into regional sociopolitical groups, and how this led to modifications in community dynamics and leadership. The paper adds to the field of Islamic studies, world history, and current conversations on Islam and identity. It concludes with a summary, consequences, and recommendations for additional research
