Syed Ahmed Khan

Sir Syed Ahmed Khan (17 October 1817 - 27 March 1898) was an Indian teacher and leader who introduced modern education for Muslims of India. He established the Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental College which later developed into Aligarh Muslim University. His efforts led to the beginning of the Aligarh Revolution, in which Muslim intellectuals and leaders involved strengthened the political future of Indian Muslims. Syed Ahmed Khan became famous for working in the East India Company. He wrote a book about the first Indian Freedom Struggle: Asabab-e-Bagawat-e-Hind, in which he criticized the policies of the British Government. He was the most influential Muslim leader of his time. He was of the view that Muslims of India should not be loyal to the British Government. He emphasized Urdu to make the collective language of Indian Muslims.

Early life and education:
Syed Ahmed Khan was born on 17 October 1817 in Sadat (Syed), Delhi. He was fond of reading and reading from his childhood and had a special influence on his mother. The effective maintenance of the mother and the effect of the rituals she received from her is visible in the days after Sir Syed when she came in the area of social uplift. After the father's death at the age of 22, the family faced financial difficulties and only after a little education they had to earn a livelihood. He started working as a clerk in the East India Company in 1830, but in 1841 CE, he attained the qualification of sub-judge in Mainpuri and worked in judicial departments at various places. However, despite being on the topmost position, he spent all his life in Fatahalli.

The spirit of patriotism:
He saw the effects of the great revolution of 1857 and its failure, with his eyes. Her house was devastated, close relatives were murdered, her mother kept her hidden in horse stables for a week after saving her life. His mind was disturbed by seeing his family's waste, and in his mind and heart, the wave of patriotism began to grow. With this uneasy, he decided to leave India and settle in Egypt. The English sent Mir Saddique and Mir Rustom Ali to them to give them a favor and gave them the lure of giving taluka Jehanabad. It was such a chance that they could get trapped in their trap. They could have lived a wealthy life, but they were very intelligent and intelligent people. He turned down the greed as a bad force and at the same time considered better to adopt patriotism.

Later, he felt that if India's Muslims were not evicted from this cell then one day our democracy will be destroyed and ruined and he can never rise. That is why they changed their intention to go to Egypt and started moving towards their country and country by taking welfare and torch of existence. It is true that they have sheltered non-military British in their home, but their supporters were not at all, rather they were interested in Islamic education and culture. His vision was well-anticipated by the English Conspiracy. He knew that the English rule was established in India and he understood the educational grounds better to defeat them. Therefore, through its finest articles, tried to create a sense of education and culture in the country so that no one could dominate our society in the educational field. Muslims continued to give them the fatwa of the unbelievers, but they did not want to become an enemy of its people or get worse, but they tried to convince them with softness. They knew well that this democracy is so, without regard to their point of view, they try to reach their destination. Today the Muslim community acknowledges that Sir Syed Ahmad Khan did not do anything for the people.

Politics:
In Muslim politics, Syed's tradition emerged as Muslim League (established in 1906). His propaganda against the Indian National Congress (established in 1885) was that Congress was a Hindu lordship and propaganda survived Muslims in pre-independence India. Except for a few exceptions, they stayed away from Congress and even did not participate in the fight of independence. It is no surprise that almost all the Muslim-majority states of British India-Bengal, Punjab, almost all freedom fighters were Hindus or Sikhs.

Establishment of institutions:
1. In 1858, established modern madrasas in Moradabad.
2. In 1863, he established a modern school in Ghazipur.
3. He established the "Scientific Society", which published a translation of several educational books in Urdu and English in which he published bilingual journals.
4. The developments of the last years of the 1860s proved to be the turning point of their activities. In 1867 he was transferred to the center of the religious beliefs of Hindus, in Benaras (present day Varanasi) on the Ganges coast. Around the same time, the movement to bring Hindi in place of Muslims, the place of Urdu, started the movement. With this movement and the efforts of the Scientific Society to bring Hindi to the place of Urdu, Syed was convinced that the paths of Hindus and Muslims were different. Therefore, during his visit to England, during 1869-1870, he made plans for the great educational institutions like 'Muslim Cambridge'. When he returned to India, he set up a committee for this purpose and started publication of influential magazine Tahedeb-al-Akhlaq (Social Reform) for the upliftment and reform of Muslims.
5. In 1886, he formed the All India Muhamdan Educational Conference, whose annual conference was organized at different places to promote education in the Muslims and provide them a common platform.
6. He founded the All India Muslim League in 1906, which was the main national center of Indian Islam at that time.
7. In May 1875, he established a Muslim school in Madar Sultanulam in Aligarh and after the retirement in 1876, he laid the foundation for conversion to the college. Despite the conservative opposition to their projects, the college progressed rapidly and in 1920 it was converted into Aligarh Muslim University.
