This is going to be a very irregular blog about Aligarh Movement.

Aligarh Movement is for imparting modern education to Muslims.

Central figure of this movement is Sir Syed Ahmed Khan (b.1817AC, d.1898AC), a British government servant in second half of 19th century but a very versatile personality.

Main manifestation of his endeavour is the Aligarh Muslim University at Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Aligarh is a city around 130km towards east of Delhi.
