How sir syed ahmed khan countered congress
Answers
Answer:
Pro-Vice Chancellor of the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), Brigadier (retd) Syed Ahmad Ali ,is under attack these days and the one who attacked him happens to be his own co-religionist – a well-meaning Muslim, Tufail Ahmad. The reason is that Syed Ahmad Ali vouched for reservation for Muslims.
"Muslims are extremely backward in the field of education for which it is necessary to give them reservation in educational institutions," he said while speaking at a seminar on “The Inclusion of Article 341 in the Indian Constitution and the Muslim Reservation” (Roznama Sahafat, 28 January). The seminar was held in the AMU.

In fact, he wrote an article, titled “Is Aligarh Muslim University, once again, leading a campaign for partition of India?”

These were the basic reasons Sir Syed (Ahmad Khan) established the Aligarh Muslim University and launched the Urdu magazine Tahzibul Akhlaq with the singular purpose to inculcate scientific temper among Muslim students. It does not appear that Brigadier Ali has learnt anything from Sir Syed”. (Sir Syed Ahmad Khan didn’t establish AMU; he founded Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental School in 1875 which was raised to the status of Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental College in 1877).
