Özet, vb.
"This book presents a nuanced narrative on Sir Syed Ahmed Khan's (1817-1898) life and his invaluable contribution to the democratic consciousness in India. Based on extensive archival research and a close study of his writings, speeches and addresses, it explores the life and works of Sir Syed in the broader context of socio-political debates in the nineteenth-century India. A seminal figure who shaped modern India, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan is known as the pioneer of modern education among the Muslims in India. Reconciling faith with demonstrable truths, he contributed immensely as a member of the several apex bodies such as Vice-Regal Legislative Council, Royal Public Service Commission, Royal Education Commission, and Legislative Council of North West Provinces. The volume also explores the reformer's contributions on issues like colonial law and administration, the concept of blasphemy, conversion, female education, religious beliefs, freedom of press, emancipation of women, Hindu-Muslim unity, Urdu-Hindi controversy, and reservation for Muslims. Thoughtfully and incisively written, this volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of modern India, Indian political thought, political philosophy, education, political science, colonial history, Islamic Studies, religious studies, Islamic law, biography and South Asian studies"-- Provided by publisher.
