Maulvi Syed Tufail Ahmad Manglori was a colonial Indian educationalist and historian who was known for his establishment of City High School of the Aligarh Muslim University, founding of the journal Soodmand, and opposition to the partition of India.[2]

His notable works include Musalmanon Ka Raushan Mustaqbil ("The Bright Future of Muslim"), which explicated the history of Muslims in India, as well as Rooh-e-Raushan Mustaqbil ("The Bright Spirit of the Future"), which argued against the Pakistan separatist movement.[2]

Manglori was a proponent of the concept of composite nationalism.[3] He opposed the idea of separate electorates based on one's religion.[4]
