culture. They made schools and colleges
familiar to Hindu culture. In school and

dress. The traditional way of living of Hindus
was not altered. While on other hand they
give modern education to Muslims and try to
weakened the in their Islamic education and
commands. In ali garh college every
students and teacher wear typical western
dress. Due to western culture and education,
educated Muslims cut away from their social
circle. They are not able to adjust in the
Muslim society.

25. Followers of ancient scholars
• In Ali Garh College, the modern generations of
Muslims were trained according to the plans of
British Government. There is no doubt that the
prosperous group of people were the follows of
modern Muslims.
• By this if some one sketch that the whole Muslim
nation was around the a one college then it is
totally false.
• Those Muslims who were groomed under the
guidance of Shah Wali Ullah and Mujahid-e-Milat
Syed Ahmad Shaheed nor they accept defeat
neither down their head in before British
government. They still believe in their religion
obey the commands of Islam. They stayed away
from practical politics but stayed to their religion.

scholars that:
“After the war of independence of 1857 they
were pushed back so badly that death
silence covered the whole country for many
years.. when they felt some relief then
frustration spread every where.
• That’s why this group get separation form
political circle and change their direction
towards the mudrassas. Where they
protected religious and educational
inheritance they were defeated but did not
admired the defeat and the Muslim nation
practically showed ignorance to government.
