Dedicated to Sir Syed Ahmad Khan (1817–1898)

An Educationist and Reformer for Muslims of India

Sir Syed Ahmad Khan was born in the well-known city of India, Delhi, on October 17,
1817. During his early life, access to knowledge was denied to Syed Ahmad.
Therefore, he pursued it with great fervor as he grew up. Especially, he was drawn
toward science. The advancement of science is what attracted him more toward the
West as he felt the development of scientific temperament was highly essential to
bring about the future that he visualized. Syed Ahmad had a strong belief that any
national or religious cause can be promoted only on the strong foundation of
education centered on a scientific temperament. So far, he had succeeded in
making the slumbering people rise with a resurgent spirit that they could now
fearlessly face the situations of their times and hope for a promising future.
