ZAFARUL ISLAM DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) ^^^^^''r. ••< (3 2008 ABASTRACT Sir Syed Ahmad Khan is one of the most dynamic and resplendent personalities of the nineteenth century.

BUDDHANI r-r : -1" 11 ABSTRACT The present study is undertaken with a view to fill a long standing gap in our knowledge of Aligarh Muslim University, one of the Isla"inic institutions of higher learning in India. The work has been divided into three parts. The first part {Chapter I and II) gives a brief historical survey of the Muslim educational system in India. The introduction of a western educational system under British imperial rule was a challenge to Muslim reformers like Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, who realized the urgency of changing their traditional educational system in India. With this aim in mind, he endeavoured to establish a college where Muslim children could receive both western and Islamic education simultaneously. The second part (Chapter III) deals with the efforts of Sir Syed and other Muslim leaders to transform the college into a University. The Muslim leaders like the Aga Khan, Muhsin al-Mulk and Viqar al-Mulk played a vital role in achieving the objective. The final part of this study (Chapter IV and conclusion) attempts to evaluates the success and failures of the Aligarh University. Though, the establishment of the Aligarh Muslim University was an undoubted success, it failed in reconciling the two paradigms of knowledge, i.e.

Education is a life-long process. It continues from the cradle to the grave. It equips people with knowledge and skills to enable them to live a prosperous and happy life. Education serves as supra structure of a country. The development of country depends upon the standard and quality of education in the country. Education is a mean through which a man knows himself and his position and duties in this world. It helps individual in self-realization and is a process of exploring of individual’s potentiality and tries to enable the individual using his power in positive manner (Khalid, 1998). The arrival of Syed Ahmad Khan on the India educational scene is perhaps the most outstanding event in the 19 th century in the history of Muslim education.

  • VIII in the Preceding Pages . We Had Tried to Study the Over All
    CHAPTER VIII C 0 N C-L U.S I 0 N In the Preceding pages . we had tried to study the over all personality of Sir Syed. _ However, we will summarise and clarify some of the steps ,p~r. Syed__ bas taken in course of his Aligarh Movement. Sir Syed was a child of revolution who has seen the fall of Mughals · and the emergence of British power in India. In - fact, the Muslim political power had been declining from the beginning of the 18th Century and after 1857, the whole .structure of the Muslim Society changed. The catastrophe of 1857 left a deep impact on the mind of Sir Syed and he , ·began to think over the devastated condition of the Muslims and to find out the solution of it. uitimately, Sir Syed found the p:tnacea of all the ills of the contemporary Musl~m Society in education. · But · the Muslims were not ready for any kind of fundamental change in their educational ideals. B. Sheik Ali writes, "He (Sir Syed) been me aware of the wretched conditions of his people and also the reasons for that position. It was their ignorance, deeprooted traditionalism, unwillingness to change, and a chronic opposition to Western learning whereas the Hindus from the time of Raja Ram Mohan Roy were reconciled to Modernism, the Muslims resisted stronq~y _its impact. Whereas the majority was marching in the direction of progress, the Muslims were withdrawing mor:e and more into thier own narrow shell". 1 As a matter of fact, Muslims were "economically - 171 - poor, politically defeated, educationally and culturally different from their new masters 1 the Muslims did not surrender themselves to the new regime and even successive waves of suppression could not reconcile them to their new rulers.

    The Thesis committee for Elizabeth Anne Bowers Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Baba-e-Urdu : Abdul Haq and the Role of Language in Indian Nationalism APPROVED BY SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: Supervisor: ___________________________ Kathryn Hansen ___________________________ Gail Minault The Baba-e-Urdu: Abdul Haq and the Role of Language in Indian Nationalism by Elizabeth Anne Bowers, B.A. Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin May 2010 The Baba-e-Urdu: Abdul Haq and the Role of Language in Indian Nationalism by Elizabeth Anne Bowers, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2010 SUPERVISOR: Kathryn Hansen Abdul Haq was the secretary of the Anjuman Taraqqi-e-Urdu from 1912 to 1961. He was also a founder of Osmania University, one of the first universities in India to provide instruction in an Indian vernacular. He had a lifelong devotion towards improving the status of Urdu and of the Indian Muslim community at large. He was the figure most involved with the standardization of Urdu and establishment of this language as a symbol of Muslim identity. Through an analysis of Abdul Haq’s involvement in language reform movements and the politics of the early 20 th century, especially considering the fallout after the 1936 meeting of the Bharatiya Sahitya Parishad, I seek to show the nature of language as a nationalist tool. I argue that language is not inherently associated with the nation-building process, but that it must first be standardized into a form which can be used as a political tool and a point of identification for the community rallied behind it.

  • In Search of a Non-Western Education Model Syed Ross Masood of Hyderabad Turns to Japan
    In search of a non-Western education model Syed Ross Masood of Hyderabad turns to Japan Sushila Narsimhan, Ph.D Professor (retd.) of Japanese Studies Formerly, Department of East Asian Studies University of Delhi, Delhi – 110007, India <[email protected]> Introduction In mid-1850s, most Asian countries, including India and Japan were victims of European hegemony. Within fifty years, Japan was not only the sole surviving independent Asian country; it had also become a power to reckon with. Japan’s example had showed that it was possible for the Asian societies to modernize. All that they needed to know was what features of Japanese culture accounted for Japan’s success and might be adapted to their own societies? From the late-19th century onwards, aided by the emergence of new travel infrastructures, and regular direct shipping services between Yokohama and Bombay (1885), and Kobe and Calcutta (1911), several Indians travelled to Japan. Japan played an important role, consciously or unconsciously, in two ways: firstly, as an inspiration for India’s national independence; and secondly, as a model for educational reforms and modernization. While the former abounds with rich literature, the latter is understudied and needs to be highlighted. Japan however served as a working model mainly for the semi-autonomous ‘princely’ or ‘native’ states, collectively called the ‘Princely India,’ ruled by the local hereditary monarchs, and not for the directly-ruled provinces of British India where the former Hindu and Muslim indigenous modes of learning were already replaced by a new public system of British education. However, under the constant pressure of the British encroachment on the fringes of their states, several Princely States realized the need of empowering themselves through educational reforms.
