Abstract
The people of subcontinent considered national freedom
precious asset and at the out set of British imperialism in India
they embarked on a voyage to get back their cherished freedom.
Their aim was one and that was freedom, but people with
different bent of mind used different means to achieve that goal,
some opted for constitutional means others for outright arm and
struggle against imperialism. On the eve of First World War, the
Muslims of British India were at the horns of dilemma; on the
one hand British rulers sought their help in the war while on the
other their co-religionists Turks were in the opposite camp along
with Germany against Britain. The entry of Turkey in the War in
November 1914 on the side of Germany roused a widespread
Pan-Islamic and nationalist sentiments among the millions of
Muslims in South Asia including Afghanistan.
