He is most remembered for the protests in Punjab after the implementation of Rowlatt Act in March 1919, after which on 10 April, he and another leader Dr. Satya Pal, were secretly sent to Dharamsala. A public protest rally against their arrest and that of Gandhi, on 13 April 1919 at Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar, led to the infamous Jallianwala Bagh massacre.He was awarded the Stalin Peace Prize (now known as Lenin Peace Prize) in 1952.
Shibli Nomani He was born to Shaikh Habibullah and Moqeema Khatoon. Although his younger brothers went to London, England for education and later returned as barristers, employed at Allahabad High Court, Shibli received a traditional Islamic education. Shibli Nomani was a 'Muslim Rajput' from the Azamgarh district in the then United Provinces of British India, now called Uttar Pradesh in modern India. "This aspect of Shibli's background perhaps explains his ambivalent relationship with Aligarh and Sir Syed." His teacher, in his early life, was Maulana Muhammad Farooq Chirayakoti, a rationalist scholar. Shibli went to Makkah for the Hajj and there, he devoted his time to furthering his studies in Islamic theology, history, philosophy and Sufism from different scholars in Arabia. Due to these two opposite influences in the younger years of his life, "Shibli, therefore, had reasons to be both attracted and repelled by Aligarh."
