Sir Syed Ahmad Khan
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.

Muslim Politics in Bihar
This book studies the engagement of various Muslim communities with Bihar politics from colonial times to present-day India. It debunks several myths in highlighting Muslim resistance to the Two-Nation theory, and counters the ‘Isolation Syndrome’ faced by Muslim communities after Independence. Using rare archival sources and hitherto unexamined Urdu texts, this book offers a nuanced exploration of complex themes such as the struggle against Bengali hegemony, communalism, regionalism and alienation before Independence, recent language politics, the political assertion of low-caste Muslims in current Bihar, as well as their quest for social and gender justice. An important contribution to the study of South Asian Islam, this book will interest students and scholars of modern Indian history, politics, sociology, religion, gender, and minority studies.
