Born near K&#257bul in 1838, Jam&#257l ud-D&#299n entered the service of Am&#299r Dost Muhammad <u>Kh</u>&#257n after whose death he got involved in the dynastic wars of succession in Afghanistan, eventually fleeing to India and thence to Cairo. He was a staunch exponent of Pan-Islamism which he declared was the only security for Muslim countries against Western dominance. In 1879 he was deported by the British from Egypt to India for anti-British activities. In 1883, he went to Paris and in 1886 to Russia where he and Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 Duleep Si&#7749gh came in touch with each other and met together under the patronage of Katkoff, an influential person at the court in Moscow, to plot against the British. Later, the Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 fell out with Jam&#257l ud-D&#299n and publicly repudiated him.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1">Ganda Singh, ed., <i>History of the Freedom Movement in the Panjab (Maharaja Duleep Singh Correspondence) </i> .
