ABDUL QAYYUM ANSARI
"Baba-e-Quam"
(Father of Indian Pasmanda Muslim Movement; President of Pasmanda Muslim led Momin Conference and nemesis of Mohammad Ali Jinnah & his upper caste led Muslim League)
Wishing Abdul Qayyum Ansari on his 116th, birth anniversary.
It is sad that INDIA remembers communal, bigoted and British slave "Sir Syed" Ahmed Khan, who hated Hindus and detested Pasmanda Muslims, but Abdul Qayyum Ansari, who was true son of the soil was long forgotten, till his recent resurrection as Qayad (leader) of Pasmanda Muslims.
Contemporary of Baba Sahab Ambedkar, Abul Qayyum Ansari recognized Brahmin like dominance of Ashrafi Muslims over extremely poor Pasmanda Muslims way back in early 1900s, most potent symbol of which was Hindu Gujarati Lohana Rajput convert -Mohammed Ali Jinnah & his Muslim League
Abdul Qayyum Ansari did not believe in Rajput Jinnah, Syed Ahmad Khan and Kashmiri Brahmin Allama Iqbal's "two nation's theory" and did not consider Indian Muslims and Indian Hindus as two separate "races & civilizations", which can never exist together. He was nemesis of Jinnah.
Abdul Qayyum Ansari formed MOMIN CONFERENCE (Momin is Quranic title used for Jullaha community in North India) to counter elite sounding "Muslim League" of Jinnah. Momin Conference began as social organization focused on Pasmanda Caste Muslims later acquired political character.
Momin Conference worked closely with Congress and participated in all Congress led freedom struggle movement giving more heartaches & annoyance to Jinnah. He even ran a weekly "Masawat ki Jung" (Fight for Equality) in Urdu. His birth day is also marked as "Masawat" (equality) day
