Muhammad Ali Jauhar Khan (10 December 1878 – 4 January 1931) was an Indian Muslim freedom activist, one of the founders of All-India Muslim League, a pre-eminent member of Indian National Congress, journalist and a poet, a leading figure of the Khilafat Movement and one of the founders of Jamia Millia Islamia.[1][2][3]
Jauhar was a member of the Aligarh Movement.[4] He was elected to become the President of Indian National Congress party in 1923 and it lasted only for a few months owing to the differences with the organization, especially Gandhi, on the haphazard ending of Non-cooperation movement. In the following years, he ended up being antithetical to it and accused Gandhi and Motilal Nehru of succumbing to the appeasement of Hindus as they regarded Muslims “the minorities” in India and refused to accommodate Muslim demands in the political representation. Being one of the founders, esteemed member and 10th president of the All-India Muslim League, he represented the party in the first round-table conference held in London.[5][6][7]
