Popis: In mid-19 century AD, there were a small number of educational institution, not enough to cater the need of the people. The Muslim majority provinces such as; Punjab, Sindh, NWFP (now Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa) and Baluchistan remained backward in modern education due to mistrust of British rulers. On December 27, 1886, a three-day gathering of those people who supported the Muslim education, met at Aligarh to lay the foundation of Muhammadan Educational Conference . Later, it had to undergo certain changes of nomenclature and was finally known as the All India Muslim Educational Conference. It was founded by Sir Syed Ahmad Khan and aimed to solve the problems of education among Indian Muslims and to encourage the teaching of modern sciences and literature among themselves. Article in hand highlights the role of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, among others, in uplifting the Muslim education in United India during 1886-97.
