Why is there no talk of Kings and Queens at An Alig's Armchair?
Let us talk about a King.
Mufti Taqi Usmani Sahab (DB) has narrated the story of the demise of a Shaikh. The Shaikh left a will that his Funeral Prayer can be lead by only that person who has maintained the sequence. It means that a person who never missed a Prayer ever since he became an adult. At the time of Funeral Prayer this announcement was made at it was requested that Man of Sequence (Sahib-e-Tarteeb) should come to lead the Prayer. Nobody came forward after two announcements. After the third announcement the King himself came forward. It was Tipu Sultan, later to achieve martyrdom. Allah knows better.
There is a similar story of passing away of Khwaja Bakhtiaruddin Kaki (RA) whose Funeral Prayer was ultimately lead by King Altmash (RA).
So we'll talk of Kings and Queens if these are Sayyidina Dawood (AS) or Sayyidina Sulaiman (AS) or Hazrat Ibraheem bin Adham Quddisallahu Sirrahu.
Then there are the governors, ambassadors, kings and queens who got their fifteen minutes of fame. Them we shall have little to talk about.
AMU is not International Islamic Caliphate of Islam. It is an academic institution and it is the main manifestation of Aligarh Movement. So the focus at An Alig's Armchair will be academics with a bias towards science.
And that is why we do not talk much of Kings and Queens.
