[Syedh21]

My answer:
Sir syed ahmed khan(SSAK) was a great Muslim scholar and helped the Muslims when they were suffering from various difficulties. Among his services the attempt to achieve better understanding with the british contributed alot. He removed the misunderstandings between the muslims and the British. he did educational services by establishing schools and colleges. he also created political awareness among the Muslims of India and introduced the two-nation theory.

He started Aligarh movement because after the war of independence the social and economic conditions of the muslims were miserable. He felt that the muslims could not afford any type of enmity with the British as they were the rulers. He wrote a pamphlet on the causes of Indian revolt (1860) and in-which he explained the main causes due to which the revolt started. The reasons he mentioned were: Indians were not given representation in the government, conversion of the muslims to other nations and mismanagement in the army. He also mentioned that in the war Hindus and the other nations were also involved so the muslims should only not be punished for the war. The muslims hated the british reaction towards them only and used some degrading words for the british, the word "nadarth" also used which was Hated by the british and taken as an abuse. He gave explanation of the word nadarth that it camde from arabic word "nasir" meaning benefactor or helper. The muslims had a fear the british would replace islam with christianity. muslims are closer to the christians than any other community so, he made it a point and wrote Tabyin-ul-kalaam to explain Bible and pointed out the similarities between the islam and christianity. he tried his best to convince the british that all the muslims were not against the British govt in the war(some helped them) and he gave various examples as well. He wrote Loyal muhammedans of india in which he gave details of trhe loyal services of the muslims, which they did for british rulers. all these services helped to clear misunderstandings between the british and therefore muslims achieved a better understanding with the british.

However, his educational services are also beneficial and aimed to qualitatively educate more and more muslims. He took practical steps to educate the muslims. in 1859 he opened a school at Muradabaad. In 1863 he opened another school and founded a scientist society at Ghazipur. the scientific society translated the modern science works from English, persian and arabic into urdu, it also issued "Aligarh institute gazette" in 1866 in english and urdu. its main purpose was to realize the british that muslims also wanted to acquire the modern education. during ssak's visit to britain in 1869 he was greatly impressed by the british educational system in england. in 1857 he established mao school at aligarh which was upgraded to a status of a college in 1876 as a part of Uni of calcutta and which was supported by the govt and inaugrated by viceroy Lord litton. the college offered westrean eastren and islamic education. it was upgraded to the level of university in 1921 aftyer his death. many prominent muslims got educatuion from there like liaqat ali and m ayub khan.

ssak's political services are also important. he was a great thinker and politician. he had a complete vision of the political condition in India. Hindus wanted democracy like in england but he opposed this because in democracy majority rules and the muslims were in minority. allah ocatavan hume formed congress in 1885; at that time ssak didnt support its formation and urged the muslims not to join it. he also opposed th hindu demand of the competetitve exams should be held for government services; he also rejected it because the muslims were far behind than the hindus in education. he formed the Muhammedan defense association in 1893, which was earlier known as United patriotic alliance for the protection of the rightsd of the muslims. he firmly believed in the hindu-muslim unity and always tried his best to bring them closer but due to Hindus attitude against the Muslims and Hindi-Urdu controversy in 1867 (in-which the Hindus demanded that the urdu should be replaced with the hindi as the next official language), he changed his views. in 1868 he gave the two nation theory declaring that the hindu and muslims were two separate nations having different religion, culture, social values and a different way of life. In 1878 he became the member of imperial legaslative council. He also supported the rights of separate electorates for the muslims.

So, I conclude that ssak did a remarkable job for the indian muslims and among his services the emoval of misunderstandings with the british also played an important role because without forming good relations with the british, the muslims could not develope educationally, socially or politically.
