It was a joyous hour for all Indians, as a country that had been under British rule for more than 200 years was finally being liberated.

At the same time, there were thousands of noble, spirited and dynamic souls who realized that political freedom alone is not sufficient for the peace, progress and salvation of the nation and nation building needs strong, powerful pillars viz Justice, Brotherhood, Freedom and Equality.

These noble souls organized themselves and launched Jamaat e Islami Hind (JIH) on 16th April, 1948 in Prayagraj then known as Allahabad.
