Aligarh, October 17 (Pervez Bari): “The founder of Aligarh Muslim University,
(AMU), Sir Syed Ahmad Khan’s intent on modern education went a long way in
shaping the destiny of modern secular India and his relentless efforts for
spreading the knowledge of English and science and technology has made AMU an
oasis of high learning in Uttar Pradesh where education had not taken firm
roots”.
The above view was expressed by T.V. Rajeswar, Governor of Uttar Pradesh, the
eastern state of India, while addressing the Sir Syed Day celebrations at AMU
Aligarh here today. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan was born on October 17, 1817. His

wherever AMU old boys reside.
T.V. Rajeswar, who was the chief guest on this year’s Sir Syed Day
celebrations, said Sir Syed’s book “The Causes of Indian Revolt” has
established his credentials as a visionary thinker. He realized that the
knowledge of science and scientific temperament were essential for the Muslims
to progress. He wanted MAO College to act as bridge between the East and the
West. Sir Syed was not oblivious of the values of oriental learning and wanted
to preserve and transmit it to posterity the rich legacy of the past.

removing the cobwebs of ignorance. He said that Sir Syed wanted all Indians to
join hands in removing illiteracy. Paying rich tributes to Sir Syed Ahmad

Syed’s large hearted tolerance and unflinching commitment to secularism as his
cherished ideals.

institution. In order to spread the message of Sir Syed the University has
instituted international Sir Syed Award for literature. Eminent Pakistani
writer Zakir Ali Khan got the first Sir Syed Award. The Chancellor of AMU,
Justice A. M. Ahmadi presented the award to him carrying a cash prize of Rs.
5,00,000 and a Citation.
Zakir Ali Khan, who was overwhelmed and struggled for words, expressed his
gratitude for the award and donated the whole prize money to the welfare of
AMU students. He asked the students to imbibe the spirit of Aligarh which
stipulates to rise to the occasion despite all odds when the need arises.
Former Chief Justice of India Justice A.M. Ahmadi, the Chancellor of AMU, said
that secularism is the ethos of our country and Sir Syed was an enemy of
narrow mindedness.

(Biochemistry) and Mr. Abdul Haleem Kidwai, student of B.A. (Economics) also
paid tributes to Sir Syed on the occasion.
