Abstract
Starting from the 1970s, one of the largest Indian Muslim organizations Jamaat-e-Islami Hind has been reconsidering its ideology and rethinking the views of its founder Syed Abul A'la Maududi (1903–1979) on the role of women in the life of the Muslim community. Since the 1990s, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind has allowed Muslim women to participate in the socio-political life of India. The organization has begun to pay more attention to improve the status of women in the society. Jamaat-e-Islami Hind’s women wings have been established in many states of India; currently, they are most active in Kerala and Karnataka.
