Abstract

It is a very common research paradigm termed as ‘‘literal sociology’’ to discuss a social fabric in the light of literary text and likewise a literary content in the perspective of social environment. In this article we are going to repeat such practice identifying the orientalist signifiers textualized in Urdu literature during the colonial era of sub-continent in order to decode the motivations, goals and impacts of such ideological oppression. After renaissance, Orientalism emerged as a movement to constrict new connotational identities of Non-Occidental Nations of Middle East and Asia, especially to establish a well-planed binary opposite with the West. On broader spectrum, it was a political policy-matter of colonial narrative-building. Some Orientalists depicted the Eastern super-structure as stereotyped, non-progressive and irrational to reinforce Occidental superiority and justify imperial domination. During the colonial rule, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions along with the teachings of Islam were specially criticized and Islamic teachings were Westernized in a very sophisticated mechanism. The manipulated narratives of such ideological fabrications were disseminated even to some prominent Muslim leaders like Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Syed Ameer Ali and Molana Altaf Husain Hali etc. as well. This kind of colonized indigenous mentality has textualized modernity-based imaginative sensibility and materialistic research-methodologies about Seerat un Nabee (PBUH), biographical sketches of “Sahabas” and the general frame-work of Islamic history. In this regard, a particular analyses of ideological manipulation textualized in between the lines of Urdu literature (specially by Sir Syed and Molana Hali) has been managed to shed the beam light on the Neo-Crusaded clash with Islam.
