Often there was no confirmation of their incarceration for days. There were instances of senior officer-bearers of the Jamiat being picked up by the police in civilian clothes from their rooms in Deoband and sent away to jails in Lucknow, Kanpur and Bareilly.

Journalists working for its newspapers and magazines were also imprisoned some went underground, their offices were sealed, and their wives reduced to the status of half-widows. Several of the Jamaat’s functionaries were incarcerated. They were dealt with swiftly, harshly, vengefully. Indira Gandhi was neither pleased nor convinced, though, seeing in them as in others, a danger to her autocratic ways. The publications of both organizations spoke of a commitment to India’s Constitution and voiced the interests of India’s largest minority through peaceful means.

In addition, the Jamaat published Radiance, an English magazine that adhered to its principles in letter and spirit. The four-page broadsheets in Urdu focused on politics, economy, religion, and so on. Both the Jamaat and the Jamiat brought out a newspaper each, Daawat and Al-Jamiat, respectively. By the mid-1950s though, it was part of the Indian economy and polity, opening its bank account, participating in elections and seeking to enter various representative bodies. Unlike the Jamiat which had actively participated in India’s struggle for independence, and had many freedom fighters as part of its distinguished history, who played a crucial role in the Non-Cooperation, Civil Disobedience and Quit India movements, the Jamaat, founded by Maulana Abul Ala Maududi in 1941, focused on the restoration of the Caliphate in its initial years. During the Emergency, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi came down heavily on the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind and the Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind – both Islamist organizations that paid for taking a stand against the authoritarian politics prevalent at the time.
