Sharing a 92+ year old historic document dated December 22nd/23rd 1930, which mentioned Nana Abba (Mr. H. Askari) in relation to an Historical Exhibition which was organized in connection with Patna Session of Indian Historical Records Commission. Pasted the excerpt below in this regard. This is classified as a critical discovery for the Prof. Askari Historiography Project. (It is also available on the website of Internet Archive @ https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.281555/page/n15/mode/2up?q=askari).

 

**********************************************

“Proceedings of the Thirteenth Session of the Indian Historical Records Commission held at Patna on the 22nd and 23rd December 1930 (Page 9).”

*The exhibits, which came from Government archives, Indian States, public institutions and private individuals belonging to various parts of India, were remarkable both as regards variety and antiquity. These comprised modern, state papers of first-rate importance, valuable farmans, sanads, and other documents of the Mughal and Maratha periods, inscriptions, coins, grants, etc., of the ancient and latter Hindu kings, medieval weapons, historical paintings, rare books, manuscript works and fine specimens of calligraphy. The Commission was grateful to Dr. Azimuddin Ahmad, Ph.D., Dr. S, C. Sarkar, M.A., Ph.D., M.R.A.S., Mr. K. E. Datta, M.A., P.R.S., and Mr. H. Askari, M.A., of the staff of the Patna College, for securing a good number of choice exhibits belonging to several public and private collections both in and outside Patna.

Alt Arguments.jpg

An honor to receive the personal manuscript of “Alternative Arguments, 2020” from one of the co-editors, Prof. Dr. Ejaz Hussain sahib earlier this year for which I am sincerely grateful to him. Upon reviewing it, I was pleased to observe at least eleven references, mentions and citations to Nana Abba (Prof. Askari) and his historic scholarly works by eminent academia, and historians even after his death thirty-two years ago.

Heartfelt congratulations are in order to Prof. Dr. Ejaz Hussain sahib and Dr. Sanjay Garg sahib for publishing this outstanding scholarship in honor of their mentor and teacher, Prof. Surendra Gopal sahib who was a very close student of Nana Abba. I also had the privilege to have a brief 15 minute telephonic conversation with Prof. Surendra Gopal sahib three years ago as well as has been in regular contact with both Prof. Dr. Ejaz Hussain sahib and Dr. Sanjay Garg sahib and several contributors (Dr. Imtiaz Ahmed sahib, Prof. Dr. Irfan Habib sahib, Prof. Dr. Ishrat Alam sahib, Prof. Dr. Shireen Moosvi sahiba, Prof. Dr. Ali Nadeem Rezavi sahib), and publisher (B. N. Varma sahib) and therefore would like to take a moment to acknowledge their invaluable academic support to Prof Syed Hasan Askari Historiography Project, Los Angeles, USA.

Last but not the least; A must read book……………….

Khujwa Aik Taruf 12 23 2022.jpg

It is a privilege to be acknowledged for the research and archiving activities related to Professor Askari Historiography Project, as highlighted by my aunt, Aquila Fatima (Khala), in her recent publication “Khujwa, Aik Taruf”, Patna, India, 2022, pp 45. This recognition has compelled me to reiterate my personal appreciation and heartfelt gratitude to Aquila Khala for the said honorable mention, (especially next to Nana Abba’s legendary scholarly feats) in addition to receiving the complimentary hard copy of this book in mail for which I am eternally indebted to her. A very special thanks to her son (& my cousin), Javed Mohsin bhai for sending me the digital images of the entire book on WhatsApp, when it was literally hot off the press and just printed, couple of months ago.

For academia and general readership, I am taking the liberty to provide the descriptive and informative abstract and overview of this latest scholarship. At the outset, this easy-to-read book, authored in Urdu language, comes across as an unadulterated and true labor of love instead of a commercial venture therefore the reader must assess, critique and judge it in this positive context only.

In the first section of the book, Aquila khala, has successfully shared the glimpse of the history of our native village, Kujhwa, (Siwan District, Bihar, India), its settlement, development into a prosperous agricultural and later intellectual center. This recent literary endeavor by her can be seen by many as an extension to Nana Abba’s transcribed articles on Khujwa, (published in a local magazine in 1987), where she eloquently states, (with an excellent command over the Urdu language), several facts like the Persian farman issued by (Aurangzeb) Alamgir in his 27th regnal year, under the seal of the Sadr us-Sudur, which is currently preserved at Bihar State Archives. Following the footsteps of her father / Nana Abba (Professor Askari), she traces the genealogy of Ghulam Muhammad Saheb, the founder of the village. This book makes an attempt to research our ancestry back to the eminent Sufi saint of the late 6th century, Hazrat Jalaluddin Surkhposh, who came from Bukhara and settled at Bhakkar, in Sindh (now in Pakistan). It was interesting to know that the village, Khujwa owed its name to the dense forests of Kush (grass) and Jhaua (fern-like small trees) that grew there. The village enjoyed agricultural prosperity with a large population of landed gentry. Western-style education reached the village in the latter half of the 19th century, and it soon gained a reputation as the ‘most learned village in Bihar’.Up until 1947, Kujhwa was a flourishing settlement, dotted with impressive structures, Imambargahs, and a mosque, giving it a reputation as a pakka gaon (village with brick structures). The partition of India dealt a death blow to Kujhwa as almost three-quarters of the population migrated to Pakistan.

As an author, Aquila Khala proudly mentioned the journalistic activities in Kujhwa over a span of eight decades, in addition to highlighting the contribution of several highly accomplished individuals in the fields of academia, legal, journalism, religion, engineering, medicine, bureaucracy, and all three branches of armed forces.
The second section of the book later delves into our extensive lineage family chart starting from Hazrat Ibrahim A.S (a.k.a Prophet Abraham , common Hebrew patriarch of the Abrahamic religions, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). For further clarification, he is a link in the chain of Islamic prophets that begins with Hazrat Adam A.S. and culminates in Hazrat Muhammad, R.A.

(Last but not the least, in this brief outline above, I made every effort to ensure that I stay objective even though I can be biased because of my relationship here but since I have been mentioned in this book and currently working on Professor Askari Historiography Project since 2015 therefore I felt strongly that this was the only way I can express my thanks to my aunt who is now in the recovery mode from a recent critical surgery. She is in our warmest thoughts for being on the mend and sending healthy vibes her way for a speedy recuperation and continued good health afterward! I know these words may seem like nothing, but I hope they can lift her mood a little and remind her how much family, relatives and friends care about her. Get well soon! 

From Syed Ahmer Raza)

The historian

On a summer noon I saw him.

By one side of the dusty street strewn with garbage

He was returning home; with some journals under his arm

And a new-born sapling of Jamun, whose leafy crest

Was swinging a bit above his head. 

I saw that child in his hands 

Whom he will never be able to root in any soil of the past,

Who will have to be given today’s earth –

When in the wind of some other Jaishtha, 

The black bunches of fruits will swing 

He may remain that day

Or may not. 

 

1

His palms talk with the salt of destruction and the chemistry of decay,

Within him he has created the birds

Who often fly towards the lost waves of time,

Dive in,

Feel the level of water,

            Dimensions,

                Faint inner-currents,

                        Direction, 

                            Possibilities of storm,

The blood pressure of a moment of the society.

A moment.

Still! The shadows of earth, sky, sun, and the clouds!

Still! The human settlements all over!

Still! The countless human beings,

            In the instant postures of their daily chores!

Still! The raised hand of the ruler!

Still! The screaming face of the prisoner who wanted to live! 

Still! The lone mother on the hill calling her child!

Still! An arm on the musical instrument!

Still! The fingers on three notes!

Still! Everything!

On the cross-sectional panel of a flow

Sufferings, dreams, voices –

Still, definite certainty of that one moment of life! …….

Birds spread out 

trilling inside that still silence of a lost moment. 

They search and pick up the straws and deep roots of secret cues

Of consequentiality and causes amidst numerous scattered happenings,

And come out again

Above the wave.

Shaking off the carbon and water of time from their wings

In a wink they cross several ages and enter

In his chest. 

The birds are invisible

Yet one understands their return

By looking at the appearance of sudden brightness of his eyes

In corner of the library. …

Then sentences come out on paper

Like the sharp granite of logic, from smoke.

His table like the twilight gallery after the end of a game,

His pen and the discoloured case of his spectacles  

Get filled up with once lost dust and noise. …

One day the machines of printing press rattle.

And on a humid morning

Coming in the glass cases of the book shops of the city,

Ours lost age,

Ours unknown identity 

Look at us – busy, rushing on the streets.

And those birds. 

Seeds of their life had come on the shores of this peninsula

As the rules of money come with the merchant ships.

The British state had established itself in the world

As universal equivalent –

‘He is the gold; he has the right to be money!’

But then where stands the wheat? The clothes? Minerals?

All the peoples coming in the ambit of the Empire

Began searching their relative values.

In the lanes and fields of the new-built cities

On the stairs and in the libraries of new-built colleges,

In front of the eyes of the guards of Empire,

That search of relative value,

That search to fetch in oneself, own historical labour 

necessary to be identified as a state 

entered being the telescope of Galileo,

The names of Cromwell, Robespierre, or Garibaldi,

The poetry of Shelly, 

And the seeds of life of those birds began quivering all over. 

 

Standing in the hazardous evening of the city

The youth with coppery, sun-burnt face began thinking –

“Why so much humiliation? Everyday?

“Who we are? From where we have come?

“If asked, they will say, ‘Greece, Rome,

                                          The Middle Ages, The Renaissance!

“Much bloodshed, darkness, yet, repeatedly the masses are on the move!

“What shall I say, if I am asked?

“Isn’t there one full-fledged human being in memory?

“All are deeds of Gods?

“Who are we?

“Why were we subjugated?

“Were we independent sometime?

“Why the hands of British Empire could not be broken

                                                              with the roar of canons?

“Was everything just fated?

“Or it was a terrible darkness of a motionless society

                                       which made us treacherous to our lives?

“Was a Cengiz Khan necessitated in this land

                                       sunk in the mire of self-destruction?

“Was binding India as India necessitated

                                       not by swords and marks of horse-hoof

                                       but by Permanent Settlement, cotton mills and rail line?

“Was motionless while free, so coming in motion while imprisoned

“Was sick in wealth, so being healthy in famine

                                        was destined?” …

 

Those birds came into life with these questions.

Raised their wings. And then

The ship of Empire cannot sail without a sailor.

And as the memory of the sailor 

                                     was inevitably anti-imperialist –

The memory in which was the golden cake with cherries

Which he could not purchase on the Christmas night;

There was pained blue eyes of his child and 

                         dirty water from molten ice in the shoes on Christmas night,

There were shrunken cheeks from the slum areas of the city,

Beggar on the bridge, 

There was a battle to get in the eyes, 

                                               the evening falling off beyond the walls …

Same way here also 

Around the newly-built factories,

If the new Manchester, new Liverpool was rising,

If the new ‘Irish quarters’ were rising,

Were Lyons and Silesia afar?

Was much distant the year eighteen forty-eight?

Here also

Had arrived the call from Geneva –

        Strike to get the evening! …

Hence inevitable became the search

Of that great consequentiality, sense of cues, age of the bones,

Flowing electricity of suffering and revolt 

in the lullabies of mothers through which

A country becomes a country. …

 

Past is not only discovered, it takes birth!

It took birth in the self-consciousness of India.

Great historians came. 

They removed the masks of gods and etched out

The faces of human beings.

The faces of the shepherds, the hunters, the nomads, the peasants.

They measured the rust of the Divine words

And revealed the human language.

The language of the shepherd, the hunter, the nomad, the peasant.

 

And this old historian of ours

Came and moved on as their successor. 

 

3

One by one his body has sent the years to past.

He has brought back the years of past in hundreds. 

On the streets of Patna

Sravan has soaked him in rain.

Standing on the muddy street,

Looking at the distant question he has said:

“Oh, nothing they are. Just dust of the orbit around sun,

Oxide of the seasons and the haze of

Barbaric idealism of thousand years!

Beyond that drizzle,

Though not visible but remain

Scenes absorbed in our blood. 

What?

The outrages of emperors?

No. first I need the royal mandate for tax-collection. 

Entry of a commoner in the court of the king!

No, not the stories of charities by the king,

I need to know from where he has come, and why?

What he does?

The person who received blessings from the deities –

                Why did he ask for it?

How the proverbs and legends were produced?

And the pieces of images of life in the verses and hymns?

I want the common words.

Paddy, coin,

Ownership of land, rules of their transfer,

Debts, the percentage of rent,

Dacoits, footmen,

Bulls, plough, loom, merchant, iron, salt, boat, fish! …

What is this conflict between Samhitas of Yajnavalkya and Manu?

Two systems of production?

So many sharp thoughts on statecraft in ancient 

                                             political literature yet

Why no thought on the content and form of the state?

….

Repeatedly saying all these, his worn-out aged body 

Has moved on 

Wearing a pyjama nearly up to knees and an old kurta of his son

Spreading the tattered umbrella with a hue of the wings of old cormorant

                                                                                                  on his head

Simultaneously in the rush of today’s traffic and the traffic of time. 

The track on which Man has moved forward gradually,

Like any person, he also does not follow that track

While going backward.

From tenth of July nineteen seventy-eight he instantly enters

The palace rooms of Gupta emperors and rummage through the documents.

Or sits down with a Buddhist Sramana 

On a terrace of Nalanda.

He never feels pain in his waist riding invisible horse

Galloping by side of the man carrying

The order of Shahen Shah to the Nawab.

Then and there he can come back, or

Even he doesn’t need to come back –

From the openings between scenes of the past

The face of a young teacher of his department rises in front of him;

He responds to his nod –

                                     Riding on invisible horse –

                                     From which human settlement, which century?

Today!

I am writing this poem! Today!

Day after day, how this today is spreading out!

As the consciousness is widening and deepening,

Today is becoming widespread.

All the birth, death, and rebirth of Man

                                                  Happened today itself!

Today morning itself I was

Bailing out water from the boat

With my back towards the sun of Aztec, Sumer, or Harappa!

Today morning itself I, coming out of the library of Nalanda

Wrapped the shawl around me in cold wind.

Just a while ago

Coming out of the back-door of a house in Mexico City

Leaving behind the odour of washing soap and yells of children

I am sitting here in Patna on the grass, writing.

The shadow of my cycle kept standing nearby

                                Is falling on the walls of the shanties 

                                Beside the rail lines of Johannesburg.

Someone called me by my name – from where? …

O Historian!

This I owe to you!

Hence, in this July noon of nineteen seventy-eight

                                               I am singing you.

I want to sing you and all others

Who make us recognize the seeds and sufferings of thousand years

In the structure of our blood.

 

5

Yet today!

So critical is this today!

Here in this noon itself

That old man contemporary to the historian

Coming out of the book-binding shop

Has lit a bidi, standing on the street …

He does not know to read,

But in exchange of wages for two meals and clothes to wear 

                               And rent of a narrow room

Have made beautiful and durable covers for books and theses all his life …

And the child standing beside him

He also could not begin his school

Yet has started binding of books in a nice way …

And that man who nodded at the historian and went away;

Works in the press –

Page after page of the works of the historian

He has printed with care, 

But could never read …

 

Historian!

Are you thinking 

What is the meaning of a word developed through history,

If one who holds the blood of that word in his body

Doesn’t know the history of that word?

Reference: 

I adored Prof. Askari so much. My poem 'Itihasvid' (in Bengali) collected in a book in 1984, was about him. I take this opportunity to show my respects to him, again.  
Much later I knew, that for Medieval Bihar, his works are the only reference point for historians all over the world.

Memories of a historian: Syed Hasan Askari

The historian who cherishes the memories of the society, saves them for the generations to come. Many times the historian himself is forgotten by the society. There are few lucky historians, even after whose death their memories, thoughts and their writings remain alive.

Some selected historians are remembered by their society. So fellow historians have a role in keeping alive the memories and thoughts of some. The role of the historian's own family in keeping the memory alive cannot be underestimated.

I am reminded of Surya Kumar Bhuyan, the quintessential historian of Assam, who compiled, edited and published documents ('buranji') related to the tradition of local historiography of Assam. After Surya Kumar Bhuyan's death, his family members not only saved his memory, but also carried forward his work very well. His family organizes an academic event every year in the memory of Surya Kumar Bhuyan, in which scholars as well as the common people of Assam gather to remember their historian.

One such example is of Syed Hasan Askari, a famous historian of Bihar. His family members have set such an interesting and exemplary example of cherishing his memory. Through the creation of a website dedicated to the life and works of Syed Hasan Askari. Along with all the books of Askari Saheb, one can read his articles and their summary in English and Urdu on this wonderful website.

The credit goes to his grandson Syed Ahmar Raza for making the works of Askari Sahib available online. He used to hear about all the achievements of his maternal grandfather in the family, used to be happy to hear stories related to him. But he would be disappointed when no one could tell him exactly about the contribution of Askari Sahab and the importance of his historical works. So he took it upon himself to collect the entire writings of his maternal grandfather i.e. Askari Sahib.

Some books of Askari Saheb were found from Khuda Bakhsh Oriental Library, but all the books were inaccessible. It was also a big challenge to collect his articles published in various newspapers and magazines since the forties. There was also a paucity of resources. Also note that Syed Ahmar Raza is not even a professional historian. Rather, he had nothing to do with history at all.

But the hard work with which he gradually compiled the articles of Askari Saheb from various magazines like Indian Historical Records Commission, Proceedings of Indian History Congress, Bengal Past and Present, Encyclopaedia Iranica, Urdu newspapers and magazines, he beat even historians. He is the giver.

I have started reading a little bit of Askari Sahab's writings. Political history, socio-cultural history, local history, economic history, literary history, history of food and drink – believe me, none of these areas will be left out from the connoisseur's eye of Askari Saheb.

If you get time, do visit the website dedicated to Syed Hasan Askari. This will be a work of appreciating hard work and dedication.
