Thanks for the searches. At the moment, at least, I'm using Dogpile instead of Google. I came up with basically the same search results as you.
Since two of the three named individuals have the first name of "Maulana" I'm wondering if that is not a given name but a chosen "name" of some significance. There is a university named Maulana, prominent writers of yore, etc. by that name.
