Question: Sir Syed Alunad Khan was in no way pro-British”. Agree or disagree, answer your question with arguments
SOLUTION:
SIR SYED AHMAD KHAN WAS, IN NO WAY, PRO-BRITISH
“Sir Syed Ahmed was neither a politician nor a political leader. He was essentially a social reformer and his panacea for all the ills of his community were education.” Hafeez Malik
“Sir Syed was an ardent reformer and he wanted to reconcile modern scientific thought with religion by rationalistic interpretations and not by attacking basic belief. He was anxious to push new education. He was in no way communally separatist. Repeatedly he emphasised that religious differences should have no political and national significance”.
Jawaharlal Nehru, Former Prime Minister of India
