Main interests

Brief biography

He was educated in the Nanded town of Maharashtra, where he graduated in electronics and telecommunication engineering. During his student days he was associated with Students Islamic Organisation of India and has been its president for two consecutive terms (1999–2003).[4]

Social activism

When he joined the Markazi Majlis-e-Shura of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, he was its youngest member. He was on the boards of many social and academic organizations in Hyderabad, Bangalore, Delhi and Aligarh.[5]

Globalization and capitalism

He says that although Islam stands for globalization and universal brotherhood, modern globalization is a tool of exploitation that creates economic and social inequality. The globalization has resulted in the monopoly of western cultural and ethical values and has undermined the political sovereignty of the nation states.[6]

Feminism and women

Sadat Husaini is critical of both the traditional Muslim societies and the modern western societies for their treatment of women. According to him, the traditional Muslim societies have not given the women their due place and rights as stipulated by Islam, while the modern western societies have snatched femininity and the very essence of womanhood from women in lieu of equality.[7]

Muslim politics in India

Sadat argues that the right path for Muslims in a pluralistic society such as India is to engage in healthy dialogue with majority non-Muslim communities and contribute in a positive manner to the nation-building. He has been critical of the conspiracy theories, blame games and ghettoist politics and has always urged the fellow Muslims to develop positive mental attitude and strengthen the communication channels with the majority community in India.[8]

Postmodernism

In an exclusive paper Sadat has argued that Postmodernism is logically incorrect notion and it is an extreme reaction to Modernism. According to him, the position of Islam that divinely revealed truths are absolute and all other truths are relative, is a perfectly balanced notion that is free from the contradictions of postmodernism. He has supported the Transmodernism notion of Ziauddin Sardar, and argued that Islam is a transmodern reality.[9]

Right to Education Act

The Indian parliament has passed the Right to Education Act (RTE). It holds the government responsible for providing education to every citizen of the country. Criticizing the RTE act, Mr. Sadat said that it has negated minorities' constitutional rights and Muslims will not be able to run their religious educational institutions and madarsas.[10]
