Ubaidullah Sindhi (Sindhi: عبیداللہ سنڌي,in Punjabi مولانا عبداللہ ਮੌਲਾਨਾ ਉਬੈਦੁਲਾ Urdu: مولانا عبیداللہ سندھی), (1 March 1872 – 21 August 1944) was a political activist of the Indian independence movement and one of its vigorous leaders. According to Dawn (newspaper), Karachi, Maulana Ubaidullah Sindhi struggled for the independence of British India and for an exploitation-free society in India.
Ubaidullah was born in a Uppal Khatri family in the district of Sialkot, Punjab, British India. His father died four months before Ubaidullah was born, and the child was raised for two years by his paternal grandfather. Following the paternal grandfather's death, he was taken by his mother to the care of her father, at his maternal grandfather's house. Later Ubaidullah was entrusted to the care of his uncle at Jampur Tehsil, Punjab, British India, when his maternal grandfather died. Ubaidullah converted to Islam at age 15 and later enrolled in the Darul Uloom Deoband, where he was, at various times, associated with other noted Islamic scholars of the time, including Maulana Rasheed Gangohi and Maulana Mahmud al Hasan. Maulana Sindhi returned to the Darul-Uloom Deoband in 1909, and gradually involved himself in the Pan-Islamic movement. During World War I, he was among the leaders of the Deoband School, who, led by Maulana Mahmud al Hasan, left India to seek support among other nations of the world for a Pan-Islamic revolution in India in what came to be known as the Silk Letter Conspiracy.
