Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, a 19th-century educationist and reformer, pioneered modern education among Indian Muslims. He founded the Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental (MAO) College in 1875, which became Aligarh Muslim University in 1920, revolutionizing Muslim thought and promoting intellectual growth. This book explores Sir Syed’s personal life, from his family’s shift from Mughal to British loyalty to his service under the British and motivations for modern education. It examines his childhood, relationships, and his mission to reform Muslim society through education. Filling a gap in English-language scholarship, this work offers fresh insights for researchers on Sir Syed, Aligarh Muslim University, and educational reform in India.
