Professor Haroon's presentation looks at the resettlement of several Indian-trained ulema in Afghanistan during the 1915-1940 period. She will examine their participation in the nationalist projects of India and Afghanistan, but then look beyond this paradigm to understand their professional and economic engagement in the spheres of politics, law-making, education and trade.
