The Aligarh movement also served the Muslims for the safeguard
oftheir political interests. Sir Syed Ahmad khan, after the war of
1857, hadadvised the Muslims to keep away from practical politics
of the country
as long as they do not equip themselves with the necessary
education.
The Indian national congress which grew in time to be the
mostpowerful political organization in India was originally meant
to providea forum in which the Indian politicians should meet
yearly and pointout to the government in what respects the
government was faulty and
how it should be improved.

theacquisition of knowledge and equip with modern techniques of
