About the journal

JAMIA is AMIA's premier peer-reviewed journal for biomedical and health informatics. Covering the full spectrum of activities in the field, JAMIA includes informatics articles in the areas of clinical care, clinical research, translational science, implementation science, imaging, education, consumer health, public health, and policy. JAMIA 's articles describe innovative informatics research and systems that help to advance biomedical science and to promote health. Case reports, perspectives and reviews also help readers stay connected with the most important informatics developments in implementation, policy and education.

Editorial policy

JAMIA considers publication of any original manuscript in biomedical and health informatics. This includes informatics manuscripts in the areas of: clinical care, clinical research, translational bioinformatics, consumer health, public health, and imaging. Papers submitted to the journal will be screened for plagiarism using Similarity Check / iThenticate plagiarism detection tools.

Conflicts of interest

If any of the Editors feel that there is likely to be a perception of a conflict of interest in relation to their handling of a submission or book for review, for example if the author is at the same institution as the Editor, they will declare it to the other editors and/or editorial board, and the submission or review will be handled by one of the other editors. As part of the online submission process, corresponding authors are required to confirm whether they or their co-authors have any conflicts of interest to declare, and to provide details of these. If the manuscript is published, Conflict of Interest information, including if none was declared, will be communicated in a statement in the published paper. 

Authorship is limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the design and execution of the work described. Any contributors whose participation does not meet the criteria for authorship should be acknowledged but not listed as an author. The Journal will contact all listed authors at the point of submission to confirm their role. For a detailed definition of authorship, please see the  International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) definitions of authors and contributors .

The Journal does not allow ghost authorship, where an unnamed author prepares the article with no credit, or guest/gift authorship, where an author who made little or no contribution is listed as an author. The Journal follows Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidance on investigating and resolving these cases. For more information, please see the  OUP Publication Ethics page .

Natural language processing tools driven by artificial intelligence (AI) do not qualify as authors, and the Journal will screen for them in author lists. The use of AI (for example, to help generate content or images, write code, process data, or for translation) should be disclosed both in cover letters to editors and in the Methods or Acknowledgements section of manuscripts. Please see the  COPE position statement on Authorship and AI  for more details.

After manuscript submission, no authorship changes (including the authorship list, author order, and who is designated as the corresponding author) should be made unless there is a substantive reason to do so. The editor and all co-authors must agree on the change(s), and neither the Journal nor the publisher mediates authorship disputes. If individuals cannot agree on the authorship of a submitted manuscript, contact the editorial office at  [email protected] . The dispute must be resolved among the individuals and their institution(s) before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. If an authorship dispute or change arises after a paper is accepted, contact OUP’s Author Support team. COPE provides  guidance for authors on resolving authorship disputes .

After submission, changing who is designated as the corresponding author will be permitted only where there is a substantive reason to do so. For the avoidance of doubt, changing the corresponding author in order to access Read and Publish funding is not permissible. For more information on Read and Publish funding, see the Open access charges section.

The Journal uses the contributor roles taxonomy (CRediT), which allows authors to describe the contributor roles in a standardized, transparent, and accurate way. Authors should choose from the contributor roles outlined on the  CRediT website  and supply this information upon submission. You may choose multiple contributor roles per author. Any other individuals who do not meet authorship criteria and made less substantive contributions should be listed in your manuscript as non-author contributors with their contributions clearly described. Following manuscript submission, any changes to contributor roles require the approval of the editor.

Manuscript preparation

Article types and word counts.

JAMIA word limits exclude materials in Acknowledgments and in References sections. Supplemental materials such as additional tables, figures, data sets and source code can be included for online only publication. For all articles, authors are required to submit related published materials (including articles published in conference proceedings) to allow reviewers to assess the degree of overlap. These materials can be entered as appendices "for review only".

Please note that all submissions should be double-spaced.

Research and Applications

Research and Applications articles describe original work in the formulation, implementation, or evaluation of informatics-based studies and investigations. The articles do not need to be limited to hypothesis-driven research, and they can, for example, report on an innovative application of information technology, the detailed description of a new methodology, or the formulation and formative evaluation of a new model. The structured abstract should contain the headings: Objective, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion. The main text should, in addition to the sections corresponding to these headings, include a section describing Background and Significance.

Word count: up to 4000 words. Structured abstract: up to 250 words. Tables: up to 4. Figures: up to 6. References: unlimited.

Review articles contain systematic reviews of the literature or concise tutorials on topics of broad interest to the readers. The structured abstract and text for a systematic review should follow the same format as the one required of Research & Applications articles described above. The structured abstract for a tutorial should contain the headings: Objectives, Target Audience, and Scope (covered topics).

Brief Communications

Brief Communications are short versions of Research and Applications articles, often describing focused approaches to solve a particular problem, or preliminary evaluation of a novel system or methodology.

Word count: up to 2000 words. Structured abstract: up to 150 words. Tables: up to 2. Figures: up to 3. References: unlimited.

Case Reports

Case Reports describe the experience of an institution or consortium in implementing information systems or informatics methods.

Perspectives

Perspectives report on the views of an organization or opinion leaders on topics of importance to the readers, including new policies and regulations, new directions for research, and perspectives on the success or failure of informatics initiatives affecting a large number of individuals.

Correspondence

Correspondence articles contain letters to the editor, with requests for clarification or criticism from readers, and rebuttals from authors.

Word count: up to 1000 words. Tables: up to 1. Figures: up to 1. References: up to 5.

Editorials and Highlights

Editorials and Highlights are commissioned articles.

Cover letter

Your cover letter should inform the Editor of any special considerations regarding your submission, including but not limited to:

• Details of related papers by the same author(s) already published or under consideration for publication.
• Details of previous reviews of the submitted article.
• Copies of related papers, previous Editors’ and reviewers' comments, and responses to those comments can be submitted using the File Designation "Supplementary file for Editors only". Editors encourage authors to submit previous communications as doing so is likely to expedite the review process.

NIH Employees

Manuscripts authored or co-authored by one or more NIH employees must be submitted with a completed and signed NIH Publishing Agreement and Manuscript Cover Sheet according to NIH’s Employee Procedures.

Crossref Funding Data Registry

In order to meet your funding requirements authors are required to name their funding sources, or state if there are none, during the submission process. For further information on this process or to find out more about CHORUS, visit the CHORUS initiative .

The title page must contain the following information:

• Title of the article.
• Full name, postal address, e-mail and telephone number of the corresponding author.
• Full name, department, institution, city, country, and degree of all co-authors.
• Up to five keywords or phrases suitable for use in an index (it is recommended to use MeSH terms).
• Word count, excluding title page, abstract, references, figures and tables.

Manuscript format

The manuscript must be submitted as a Word document. Compiled PDF is accepted only if the source file is LaTeX.

The manuscript should be presented in the following order:

• Title page.
• Abstract (Note: references should not be included in abstracts or summaries).
• Main text separated under appropriate headings and subheadings using the following hierarchy: BOLD CAPS, bold lower case, Plain text, Italics.
• Tables should be in Word format and placed in the main text where the table is first cited.
• Tables must be cited in the main text in numerical order.
• Acknowledgments, Competing Interests, Funding and all other required statements.
• Reference list.

Images must be uploaded as separate files (view further details under the Figures/illustrations section). All images must be cited within the main text in numerical order and legends should be provided at the end of the manuscript.

Appendices should be uploaded using the File Designation "Supplementary File" and cited in the main text.

Please remove any hidden text headers or footers from your file before submission.

Graphical/Video Abstracts

JAMIA offers authors the opportunity to publish either a video or graphical abstract that illustrates the content of an article. This image can contain text such as labels, but does not have a figure legend. There are no costs to add these features to an article. Abstract files should be submitted at the revision stage, and uploaded as separate files outside of the main manuscript. 

Abbreviations and symbols must be standard. SI units should be used throughout, except for blood pressure values which should be reported in mm Hg.

Whenever possible, drugs should be given their approved generic name. Where a proprietary (brand) name is used, it should begin with a capital letter.

Acronyms should be used sparingly and fully explained when first used.

For more information on preparing figures, see OUP’s Author Resource Centre on figures.

Figure accessibility and alt text

Incorporating alt text (alternative text) when submitting your paper helps to foster inclusivity and accessibility. Good alt text ensures that individuals with visual impairments or those using screen readers can comprehend the content and context of your figures. The aim of alt text is to provide concise and informative descriptions of your figure so that all readers have access to the same level of information and understanding, and that all can engage with and benefit from the visual elements integral to scholarly content. Including alt text demonstrates a commitment to accessibility and enhances the overall impact and reach of your work.

Good alt text should be objective and:

• Concise: Given the time-consuming nature of screen reader use, strive for alt text under 100 words, and preferably around 25 to 30 words.
• Consistent: Maintain language consistency with the main body of text.
• Unique: Avoid repeating information found in captions or surrounding text. For images entirely explained by captions or text, consider labeling them as decorative indicating that their purpose is primarily ornamental rather than conveying additional information.
• Clear: Spell out contractions, abbreviations, numbers, and non-Latin characters. Present information in a logical and consistent sequence.
• Relevant: Align descriptions with the image's context, intent, and the focus of the text, and title. Different purposes within a work may warrant distinct alt text descriptions.
• Simple: Because screen readers don't interpret formatting, refrain from using formatting (e.g., bullet points) in alt text.
• Inclusive: Ensure your text doesn't contain additional information that a sighted person would miss.
• Standalone: Screen readers indicate that alt text replaces an image, so avoid phrases like "Image of..." or "Graphic of..."
• Complete: Conclude alt text with a full stop/period, allowing for a pause before the screen reader continues.

Additional considerations:

• Grouped images and multi-panel figures: When images are grouped, provide alt text for individual figures rather than a collective description.
• Punctuation: Screen readers are unable to interpret all types of punctuation, so only use the following: periods, commas, semi-colons, colons, parentheses, brackets, quotation mark, and sashes
• Art works: Although starting with a generic "picture of" or "image of" is redundant, it can be beneficial to specify a particular type of image in art works (sculpture, painting, drawing, etc.).
• Graphs: Summarize the graph by emphasizing key details, trends, and relationships in the data. If significant, explicitly list underlying values in a logical order. Avoid redundancy if key values have already been discussed in the text. Use full units like "kilometers" for accurate pronunciation by screen readers.

To submit alt text with your article, include it alongside figure captions as in the example below:

Figure 1 caption: L’Exposition Manet au Musée de l’Orangerie in ‘Une Rétrospective d’Édouard Manet a Été Inaugurée Hier au Musée de l’Orangerie’,  L’Excelsior , 19 June 1932. (Photo: Bibliothèque Nationale de France.). Published in Michela Passini, A Microhistory of Heritage Creation Processes: The Impressionists Exhibited at the Orangerie (1930–1937), Oxford Art Journal , Volume 46, Issue 2, August 2023, Pages 241-259, https://doi.org/10.1093/oxartj/kcad023

Alt text: Decorative photograph of a vintage French journal cover featuring an article from 1932.

You can find more guidelines on how to draft good alt text at the following links:

• Are there guidelines for describing complex images? | DO-IT (washington.edu)
• Accessibility at Penn State | Charts & Accessibility (psu.edu)

Tables should be in Word format and placed in the main text where the table is first cited. Tables must be cited in the main text in numerical order. Please note that tables embedded as Excel files within the manuscript are NOT accepted. Tables in Excel should be copied and pasted into the manuscript Word file.

Tables should be self-explanatory and the data they contain must not be duplicated in the text or figures. Any tables submitted that are longer/larger than 2 pages will be published as online only supplementary material.

Multimedia files

You may submit multimedia files to enhance your article. Video files are preferred in .WMF or .AVI formats, but can also be supplied as .FLV, .Mov, and .MP4. When submitting, please ensure you upload them using the File Designation "Supplementary File - Video".

Authors are responsible for the accuracy of cited references and these should be checked before the manuscript is submitted.

Citing in the text

References must be numbered sequentially as they appear in the text. References cited in figures or tables (or in their legends and footnotes) should be numbered according to the place in the text where that table or figure is first cited. Reference numbers in the text should be inserted immediately after punctuation (with no word spacing)—for example,[6] not [6].

Where more than one reference is cited, these should be separated by a comma, for example,[1, 4, 39]. For sequences of consecutive numbers, give the first and last number of the sequence separated by a hyphen, for example,[22-25]. References provided in this format are translated during the production process to superscript type, and act as hyperlinks from the text to the quoted references in electronic forms of the article.

Please note that if references are not cited in order the manuscript may be returned for amendment before it is passed on to the Editor for review.

Preparing the reference list

References must be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are mentioned in the text.

Only papers published or in press should be included in the reference list. Personal communications or unpublished data must be cited in parentheses in the text with the name(s) of the source(s) and the year. Authors should request permission from the source to cite unpublished data.

Reference style

List the names and initials of all authors if there are 3 or fewer; otherwise list the first 3 and add ‘et al.’ (The exception is the Journal of Medical Genetics, which lists all authors). Use one space only between words up to the year and then no spaces. The journal title should be in italic and abbreviated according to the style of Medline. If the journal is not listed in Medline then it should be written out in full.

Language Editing

Language editing, if your first language is not English, to ensure that the academic content of your paper is fully understood by journal editors and reviewers is optional. Language editing does not guarantee that your manuscript will be accepted for publication.

Further information on the  Language services  in available.

Several specialist language editing companies offer similar services and you can also use any of these. Authors are liable for all costs associated with such services.

Preprint Policy

Authors retain the right to make an Author’s Original Version (preprint) available through various channels, and this does not prevent submission to the journal. For further information see our Online Licensing, Copyright and Permissions policies . If accepted, the authors are required to update the status of any preprint, including your published paper’s DOI, as described on our Author Self-Archiving policy page .

Charges, Licences, and Self-Archiving Policy

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA) authors have the option to publish their paper under the  open access initiative ; whereby, for a charge, their paper will be made freely available online immediately upon publication. After your manuscript is accepted, the corresponding author will be required to accept a mandatory licence to publish agreement. As part of the licensing process, you will be asked to indicate whether or not you wish to pay for open access. If you do not select the open access option, your paper will be published with standard subscription-based access and you will not be charged. 

JAMIA  offers the option of publishing under either a standard licence or an open access licence. Please note that some funders require open access publication as a condition of funding. If you are unsure whether you are required to publish open access, please do clarify any such requirements with your funder or institution.

Should you wish to publish your article open access, you should select your choice of open access licence in our online system after your article has been accepted for publication. You will need to pay an open access charge to publish under an open access licence.

Details of the open access licences and open access charges .

OUP has a growing number of Read and Publish agreements with institutions and consortia which provide funding for open access publishing. This means authors from participating institutions can publish open access, and the institution may pay the charge. Find out if your institution is participating .

Please note that you may be eligible for a discount to the open access charge based on society membership. Authors may be asked to prove eligibility for the member discount.

Data Archiving

JAMIA recognizes that data are important components of scientific reporting and that they must be archived for future generations. JAMIA authors can now deposit their data in a public repository, known as Dryad, at no charge. Authors will be sent a link upon submission to JAMIA that describes the process for depositing data. Data will not be required for the review process. All analyses reported in an article must be repeatable using the archived data.

The inclusion of a Data Availability Statement is a requirement for articles published in  JAMIA . Data Availability Statements provide a standardized format for readers to understand the availability of data underlying the research results described in the article. The statement may refer to original data generated in the course of the study or to third-party data analyzed in the article. The statement should describe and provide means of access, where possible, by linking to the data or providing the required unique identifier.

More information and example Data Availability statements can be found  here .

JAMIA  supports the  Force 11 Data Citation Principles  and requires that all publicly available datasets be fully referenced in the reference list with an accession number or unique identifier such as a digital object identifier (DOI). Data citations should include the minimum information recommended by DataCite:

              [dataset]*  Authors, Year, Title, Publisher (repository name), Identifier.

*The inclusion of the [dataset] tag at the beginning of the citation helps us to correctly identify and tag the citation. This tag will be removed from the citation published in the reference list.

Self-archiving

Self-archiving refers to posting a copy of your work on a publicly accessible website or repository. Under certain circumstances, you may self-archive versions of your work on your own webpages, on institutional webpages, and in other repositories. For information about the Journal's policy, and to learn which version(s) of your paper are acceptable for self-archiving, please see our  Author self-archiving policy .​

Preprint use of journal content

Authors may also upload their accepted manuscript PDF ("a post-print"*) to institutional and/or centrally organized repositories. However the journal strongly encourages authors to deposit the final published version of the article instead of the post-print version. This will guarantee that the definitive version is readily available to those accessing your article from such repositories, and means that your article is more likely to be cited correctly.

* Definition of a post-print: The final draft author manuscript, as accepted for publication, including modifications based on referees' suggestions but before it has undergone copyediting and proof correction.

If uploading a post-print to a repository, authors are required to include a credit line (see last bullet point below) and a link to the final published version of the article.

Authors should include the following credit line when depositing post-prints:  This is a pre-copy-editing, author-produced PDF of an article accepted for publication in  JAMIA following peer review. The definitive publisher-authenticated versi on [insert complete citation information here]  is available online at [insert URL that author receives upon publication here].

Prior to acceptance for publication, authors retain the right to make a pre-print* version of the article available on your own personal website and/or that of your employer and/or in free public servers of preprints and/or articles in your subject area, provided that where possible:

*Definition of a pre-print: An un-refereed author version of the article.

You acknowledge that the article has been accepted for publication in JAMIA ©: [year] [owner as specified on the article] Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the American Medical Informatics Association. All rights reserved.

Once the article has been published, we do not require that pre-print versions are removed from where they are available. However, we do ask that these are not updated or replaced with the finally published version. Once an article is published, a link could be provided to the final authoritative version on the Oxford Journals Web site. Where possible, the pre-print notice should be amended to: “This is an electronic version of an article published in [include the complete citation information for the final version of the article].”

Once an article is accepted for publication, an author may not make a pre-print available as above or replace an existing pre-print with the final published version.

More information on Author self-archiving policy .

In case of any additional queries, please contact  Journals Permissions .

Article Promotion

Social media.

JAMIA content that is shared on Twitter is the most read journal content. As part of manuscript submission, we want you to submit a tweet about your article. If your article is published, we may tweet about it and we encourage you to do the same.

Good tweets are informative, practical and brief. Don’t use complicated language and use a hashtag that makes sense along with the #JAMIA hashtag. Can you make it fun? That will make your tweet even better. If your article have keywords that are recognizable to the general public, that may also increase the reach of your tweet. #health, #medicine, #cancer, #healthIT

Level Up Your Assignment Game!

What if you made a shiny assignment but forgot to make the cover page? Remember that first impression in 'The Devil Wears Prada'? Well, your cover page deserves a standing ovation, not a silent groan from your teacher. But don't worry! Here's an ultimate guide on how to make a cover page for an assignment that will transform your cover page from 'blah' to 'wow' in no time!

What is a Cover Page in an Assignment?

The cover page, your essay's first impression, sets the stage for professionalism. It's where your name, course details, and due date greet your instructor. Though not always obligatory, its polished presentation can earn you favour. Following a good format often leads to higher scores, making it a smart academic move.

Why is a Cover Page Important?

As students, we all know the adage - you never get a second chance to make a first impression. That's where the cover page comes in - it's the gatekeeper to your assignment, and trust us, you don't want to drop the ball here. Mess it up, and your professor might write you off before they even start reading. But nail it? Well, that's like hitting a home run before you've even stepped up to the plate. 

If you are thinking about how to make a cover page for an assignment, a well-formatted, error-free cover page is the key to unlocking your instructor's curiosity. Following the institution's template is just the cherry on top, showing you're a team player who respects the rules of the game. 

How to Make a Cover Page for an Assignment?

When it comes to assignments, the cover page is our chance to grab the professor's attention right off the bat. Why settle for a drab intro when you can learn all about how to design the front page of an assignment? Let's dive into the essential elements of the cover page.

1. Running Header

A running header goes on top of cover pages, separate from the main text. It's often used for APA style. Keep it short, 50 characters max, all uppercase.

Next is the title, explaining your work's content. Write it in the title case, capitalising most words. Avoid abbreviations and aim for 15-20 words. Centre the fully written title on the cover page.

3. Institution/ University Name

Your university or institution name belongs on the cover page, too. Different from the title, it shows readers where you're from and did the research. For reports or presentations, include your workplace or school.

4. Student’s Name and ID

Clearly state the author(s) name(s) and id(s) on the cover page. Include affiliations for multiple authors. For group projects, list all students' names and universities before the title. This ensures proper author credit.

Including the date on your cover page tells readers when you finished the work. Use the exact publication date. This also helps for future reference if someone needs to find work within a certain timeframe.

6. Instructor’s Information

Providing your instructor's details, such as name, designation, and department, shows you completed the work for their specific class. It ensures the assignment reaches the right person and department, avoiding any confusion.

How to Make A Front Page of an Assignment: APA Format

The APA (American Psychological Association) format heavily emphasises the cover page details. To know how to make a cover page for an assignment in an APA format, follow these specific guidelines.

1. Page Number Placement: Start by placing the page number in the upper-right corner, always as 1, aligning it with the one-inch margin. This will be part of your running head, a feature in APA format, but for student papers, it's just the page number.

2. Title Placement: Move down three or four lines (double-spaced) from the top and centre of your paper's title. Make it bold and use proper capitalization rules for titles.

3. Author's Name: After the title, leave an empty line, then write your name. Keep it simple without any special formatting. If there are multiple authors, separate their names with commas and use "and" before the last author's name.

4. Department and School: Below your name, write your department or division, followed by your school's name, separated by a comma.

5. Course Information: Directly below your school's name, include the course name along with its numeric code.

6. Instructor's Name: Under the course information, write your instructor's full name, including any titles like 'Dr.'

7. Date: Finally, on the last line, write the date. Spell out the month for clarity.

How to Create a Cover Page for an Assignment: MLA Format

In MLA (Modern Language Association) style, you usually don't need a cover page; instead, you list essential details at the start of the first page. If you are wondering how to make an assignment front page in MLA style, here are the instructions.

1. Student’s Name: Begin with the first student’s name on the top-left corner of the page, double-spaced.

2. Additional Authors: If there are more authors, list each on a separate line following the first student’s name.

3. Instructor’s Name: Below the last author’s name, including the instructor’s title, like “Professor Willow,” on a new line.

4. Course Details: Write the course name along with its numeric code on the next line.

5. Date : Following the course details, write the date in full, avoiding abbreviations for months. You can use either day-month-year or month-day-year format.

6. Title of the Paper : Centre the title four or five lines below the date, maintaining double spacing. Remember to capitalise the title according to standard rules, avoiding bold or italics.

How to Design Cover Page for Assignment: CMS Format

CMS (Chicago Manual of Style), a citation method for acknowledging sources in academic papers, grants ownership rights to authors, preventing plagiarism and aiding readers in locating sources. However, mastering one style isn't sufficient due to varying rules.

1. Margins: Leave one-inch margins on all sides of your cover page to give it a neat look and provide space for your text.

2. Font: Stick to Times or Times New Roman font in 12 pt size for a professional appearance that's easy to read.

3. Spacing: Double-space the text on your cover page to make it clear and readable.

JAMIA MILLIA ISLAMIA

Islam and the Modern Age

Javed Akhatar

Present-day, Jamia Millia Islamia has turned out to be a modern, buoyant and lively university providing good, equal and meaningful education to all communities, but its past places it unlike from other educational academy or institution in India. It has a history of respect, patience, fraternity and its own exclusive identity among Indians. Realistically, as once Pundit Jawahar Lal Nehru said, ‘Jamia is a lusty child of the Non-cooperation Movement’ the idea behind the establishment was to impart new education, i.e., a synthesis of Islamic and modern education with deep love for the motherland, in an independent atmosphere without any aid and interference of the British government. The objective of the present research paper is to scholarly examining different aspects of the concept of the synthesis and the wave of initiatives instigated by the institution. The paper will thoroughly seek to discuss, as evident from its title, the past and present of its exclusiveness in providing the synthesis of Islamic and modern education in India with the help of contemporary approaches and methodologies. I hope the research paper would help understand its language and content better in the context of its theme.

IT is often observed that organizations are established, but they get involved in internal bickering and personal interests. However, keeping this bitter truth in mind, when we look at Jamat-e-Islami Hind’s history and contributions, it can be said that this organization is different. WITH this uniqueness, it is a matter of pleasure for JIH’s members and workers that their organization has completed 75 years of its formation. It may be mentioned here that Jamaat-e-Islami was initially formed in 1941 in Lahore at the call of Maulana Syed Abul A’la Maududi. MAULANA Maududi is considered to be one of the great Islamic thinkers. He was an advocate of applying Islam in all spheres of life.

Jamaat-E-Islami is the largest Islamic political party in Bangladesh and enjoyed political power until the War Crimes Tribunal in 2008. Many top leaders of Jamaat-E-Islami, who were actively involved in the Pakistani army against Bangladeshi nationalists during the liberation war of 1971, were convicted of war crimes and were put under war crimes trials. This therefore ushered in the fall of this political party in Bangladesh. The war crimes trials have had impacts on its leaders globally and specifically within South Asia.

The use of violence by Muslim militants seeking an independent Islamic state has a long history in certain countries in Southeast Asia, such as Indonesia and the Philippines, which have entrenched religious and ethnic conflicts. The group took effective measures to reduce the risk that government officials would discover their footsteps in building a terrorist organization and carrying out their first bomber operations. It could go unnoticed, not only by the intelligence and police services of the countries where they operate, but also by the foreign intelligence services. However, JI does not appear to have achieved a similar success in its organizational learning of operational tactical security uses since it was unable to protect a significant portion of its key leadership.

Jamaat –i Islami- a religious revival movement was established by Abu Ala Maududi on 26 August 1941. The Islamic political philosophy of Maududi represents the ideology of the Jamaat. This philosophy is based on his two concepts; one, sovereignty belongs to God and purpose of every Muslim is to establish Gods rule on earth, and second, Islam is a complete and comprehensive way of life governing all aspects of life social, economic, political etc. Thus the main purpose of the Jamaat-i Islami (community of the Muslims) according to Maududi was to establish sovereignty of God on earth known by other terms also, like Islamic state or Darul Islam. In this paper, an attempt has been made to throw light on the ideology of the Jamaat-i Islami. Key words: Ideology, Islamic State, Jamaat-i Islami, Abu Ala Maududi, Sovereignty of God.

Modern Asian Studies

Laurence Gautier

This article explores the role of Jamia Millia Islamia—the National Muslim University—in the formation of a composite national identity in India around the time of partition. This institution, born under the dual influence of the Khilafat and Non-Cooperation movements, constituted for its members a ‘laboratory’ for the nation. Through their educational experiments and constructive work à la Gandhi, Jamia teachers and students sought to lay the ground for an independence that would be ‘meaningful’ not only for Muslims but for the entire nation. In so doing, Jamia members claimed the right for Muslims to be recognized as ‘unhyphenated Indians’, able to speak for the nation. This article thus discusses the efforts of Jamia members to promote an inclusive conception of ‘composite India’ of which Muslims were fully part. At the same time, it highlights the ambiguous attitude of government authorities vis-à-vis the institution. Despite Jamia members’ strong affinities with Congress leaders, notably Nehru, the school received little support from state authorities after independence. Paradoxically, Nehru's government preferred to turn towards another Muslim institution—Aligarh Muslim University—often considered the ‘cradle’ of ‘Muslim separatism’, in order to reach out to Muslim citizens and promote national integration. By exploring the motivations behind this paradoxical choice as well as the complex relations between Jamia and Nehru's government, this article highlights some of Nehru's own ambiguities towards the ‘Gandhian’ legacy as well as to Muslim representation in secular India.

Manzoor Ahmad

Khilafat Movement provided an opportunity to the Ulema of sub-continent to take part in active politics, however, Anjuman-i-Khuddam-i-Kaaba which was the first ever organized confrontation with the British raj. It eventually resulted in the formation of Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind (JUH). Although Majlis-i-Ahrar-i-Islam, emerged as an effective instrument of Deobandi activism yet it denounced the creation of an independent Muslim state. Majority of Ulema believed that with the demise of British regime in India, the Muslims being a strong minority, could not be impoverished, therefore, JUH worked closely with the Congress. Interestingly, the history of the Ulema has been one of their perpetual conflicts with intelligentsia and the creation of Pakistan by the moderate leadership was a great setback for the "nationalist" Ulema. However, they failed to create a political constituency and continued to tag along with the Muslim League. Yet, JUI time and again denounced socialism and advocated the Islamic system for Pakistan. After 1970 Elections, both NAP and JUI emerged as majority parties in NWFP and Baluchistan. During the study, it will be analyzed that how JUI, a conservative Islamic party could form an alliance with NAP that had won the elections on the basis of secular ideas.
