The Mohammedan invasion of India in the eleventh century marked the commencement of great changes not only in the social and political life of the country, but also in the sphere of education and learning. The alien rules took the initiative for the promotion of Islamic learning. Therefore, the system of education prevalent in the country deprived of the encouragement and support of the state and depended mostly on the charities of the public.
During medieval period education was not considered a social duty or a state function It was merely a personal or family affair. The ambition of a scholar was to visit Mecca and return with a Mecca degree which was held in high esteem in India for procuring high offices. The higher Muslim education was imparted through the medium of Arabic and Persian. Persian language continued to hold the honoured place as it was the court language.
The demand for education was primarily confined to that minority of population which embraced the religion of Islam. As Persian was the court language, the demand for education in that language considerably increased. But the demand for Hindi learning decreased substantially on account of the attitude of the rulers and change in state religion and languages
The aims and objectives of Islamic education were multifarious and were closely connected with religion. It was considered a religious duty to receive and impart instruction. The objectives of education differed with different rulers. Akbar and Aurangzeb had quite different aims than that of other rulers concerning education. While Akbar aimed at organizing the nation through the implementation of a new system of education, on the contrary the sole objective of Aurangzeb was to spread Islamic education and culture by destroying Hindu culture and education.
