how sir syed brought about a renaiessence among indian muslim
Answers
Answer:
A recent meeting at the sea-facing Islam Gymkhana in Mumbai was convened to discuss Muslim reservation. The talk veered to the community’s underrepresentation in government services, corporate sector and decision-making boards and bodies. Then a commentator summed up the BJP government’s unspoken strategy towards Muslims in one word: invisibilisation.
Explanation:
“They don’t want Muslims to be seen in positions of power and influence. They don’t want to tell the present and future generations that Muslims too had a role in the nation-building,” thundered the commentator.
This could have been dismissed as a rhetoric. Tragically, like the mob lynching of the minorities and Dalits, the invisibilisation of Muslims is becoming the new norm.
Or how else can one explain the government’s amnesia about the memories of Sir Syed Ahmed Khan (1817—1898), one of the architects of modern India? October 17 is his birthday which will also mark the closing of the bicentennial celebrations of his birthday anniversary that former President Pranab Mukherjee launched at Aligarh last year.
Except Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), the institution Sir Syed founded, and some of its alumni associations spread across the world, the nation largely gave Sir Syed’s bicentennial birthday anniversary a miss.
