ALIGARH MOVEMENT The Aligarh Movement was founded by Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, the greatest Muslim educationist of the 19th Century. CAUSES OF ALIGARH MOVEMENT 1) After the War of independence of 1857 the British did not trust on Muslims, according to them British thought Muslims were only cause of War of Independence. As a result they adopted policy of oppression and repression towards Muslims. 2) Suffering of Muslims Doubled when Muslims refused to send their Children to Missionary/ European and Government Schools because they hated English Language. OBJECTIVES OF ALIGARH MOVEMENT

between the British Government and Muslims. To persuade Muslims to learn English Education. To produce an intellectual class from amongst the Muslim Community.

Sir Syed’s advice to Muslims in the political field is
also important. He believed that under the European system or democratic government the Muslims of India would always be at the mercy of Hindu majority. He suggested separate electorate for Muslims. He advised the Muslims not to join Congress. TWO NATION THEORY: 1) In 1867, Hindus demanded that Hindi should be made on official language of India in place of Urdu. The Hindus were against Urdu because it was the language of the Muslims. 2) Sir Syed convinced that the Hindus would never be friend with the Muslims. Due to this reason Sir Syed started “Two Nation Theory” telling that Muslims and Hindus were two separate kinds of people. CONCLUSION OF ALIGARH MOVEMENT
Syed Ahmed’s Aligarh Movement played a
significant role in brining about an intellectual revolution among the Indian Muslims, thus he succeeded in achieving his objectives, which were Educational Progress and Social Reform. His efforts earned Sir Syed the title “Prophet of Education”. WRITINGS
