Jamiat-e-Ulama-e-Hind is a leading patriotic, traditional and charitable organization in India. It was established in 1919. Shaikhul Hind Maulana Mahmoodul Hasan (Rh.) was the founding president of Jamiat-e-Ulama-e-Hind. Leaving one or two States JUH has branches in every state and metropolitan cities of India. The State Branches are subdivided further down to district level with properly constituted Working committees, presidents, secretaries and other office bearers. Besides, Jamiat-e-Ulama-e-Hind has a rich legacy of struggle against British Imperialism to free our country. Jamiat leader Shaikhul Islam Maulana Syed Hussain Ahmad Madani(Rh.) advocated the idea of composite nationalism and joint struggle of all religious communities against the British and justified inter-communal unity and cooperation on the basis of the Quran and the Hadith. In the post independence period Jamiat made notable contributions towards making India secular state and framing a secular Constitution. Now Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind continues its work for social welfare, against communalism and anti-terrorism.
