مولانا اکرام اﷲ خان ندوی
افسوس ہے کہ گذشتہ مہینہ ہندوستان اور پاکستان کے کئی اصحاب ِ علم وقلم نے وفات پائی، ان میں سب سے ممتاز شخصیت مولانا اکرام اﷲ خان ندوی کی تھی، مرحوم دارالعلوم ندوۃ العلمأ کے دورِ اول کی پیداوار اور اپنی علمی وتصنیفی قابلیت کے اعتبار سے ممتاز حیثیت کے مالک تھے، ان کا وطن شاہجہان پور تھا، اور تعلیم ندوۃ العلمأ میں حاصل کی تھی، انھوں نے مولانا شبلی مرحوم سے باقاعدہ درس تو نہیں لیا تھا، مگر ان کی صحبت کے فیض یافتہ تھے، تعلیم سے فراغت کے بعد کئی سال تک دارالعلوم کے مشہور رسالہ الندوہ کے اڈیٹر رہے، اور کچھ دنوں تک ندوہ کے اہتمام کے فرائض بھی انجام دیئے تھے۔
غالباً ۱۹۲۰ء میں نواب صدر یارجنگ مولانا حبیب الرحمن خان شروانی مرحوم نے اُن کو آل انڈیا مسلم ایجو کیشنل کانفرنس کے اسسٹنٹ سکر یٹری کی حیثیت سے علی گڑھ بلالیا تھا، جس سے وہ آخر عمر تک وابستہ رہے، مولانا شروانی مرحوم کا قیام امور مذہبی کی صدارت کے سلسلہ میں حیدر آباد میں رہتا تھا، اس لئے کانفرنس کا سارا کام مولانا اکرام اﷲ خان کے ہا تھوں میں تھا، جس کو انھوں نے بڑی خوش اسلوبی سے چلایا، کا نفرنس گزٹ کے اڈیٹر ی کے فرائض بھی وہی انجام دیتے رہے، اور کانفرنس کی تجویزیں اور سالانہ اجلاسوں کی رپورٹیں وغیرہ بھی وہی مرتب کرتے تھے، اور ۱۹۲۰ء سے لے کر ۱۹۵۱ء کامل ۳۰ سال تک کانفرنس انہی کی ذات سے عبارت تھی مرحوم کو ندوۃ العلمأ سے بھی گہرا تعلق تھا، اور وہ ہر زمانہ میں اسکی خدمت انجام دیتے رہے۔
طبعاً نہایت متین، خاموش، کم آمیز اور دنیاوی جاہ وشہرت سے بے نیاز تھے، اسی لئے علمی دنیا میں وہ شہرت حاصل نہ کرسکے، جس کے وہ حقیقتاً مستحق تھے، مگر...

Between Homes and Hosts: Life Narratives of South and Southeast Asian Diasporic Academic Women in America Thisdissertationisatransculturalfeministandpostcolonialstudyofthelifenarratives (auto/biographies) of late Twentieth Century South and Southeast Asian diasporic academic women in America. It is delimited to Sara Suleri’s Meatless Days (1989) and Boys Will Be Boys (2003), Meena Alexander’sFaultLines (2003), Shirley Lim’sAmongtheWhiteMoonFaces (1997), and Bharati Mukherjee’s Days and Nights in Calcutta (1977). Located on a larger scale in Asian American literary tradition and focused on life narratives written by diasporic women, this investigation is in the area of Autobiography Studies. The main argument of this study is that, through their construction of relational, hybrid, multiple, and shifting subjectivities/identities in their life narratives, diasporic academic women not only challenge the male autobiography writing conventions but also question and subvert the universalist assumptions of the White Euro-American/Western feminism. This dissertation also argues that, operating from their hybrid viewing positions as academics and making a creative use of their agency as intellectuals, the Asian-American diasporic women in America use their life narratives to disrupt postcolonial polarities and make the imaginary liminal space between home and host cultures a productive site for diasporic articulations. Moreover, this dissertation investigates how they put up with the demands of their intellectual lives and motherhood, and brave the odds stacked against them in their patriarchal native societies and race-/gender-conscious American society and academy. Since they leave their homes, this study particularly investigates how their concept of home changes across time and space. Their experience of straddling two different cultures simultaneously develops in them a sense of be/longing or un/belonging, cultural nostalgia as well as a tendency to assimilate, the degrees of which vary from person to person. Due to their marriages with white North Americans, their distinguished positions as academics in American universities, and multiple migrations, their concept of home changes from originary to imaginary, static to portable, and from singular to plural, constructed through writing. It is through disrupting male autobiography writing practice, questioning the First World feminism, energizing the “intervening space” between cultures, and overturning the traditional postcolonial binaries that South and Southeast Asian diasporic academic women in America problematize and nuance contemporary production of feminist and postcolonial/diasporic knowledge.
