Next year, if grain is dear, I shall be a Sayyid
British social surveys and census statistics defined ‘Sayyid’ as a caste identity, while often casting a sceptical eye on the authenticity of genealogical claims associated with the concept. The article examines how Muslims, especially Sayyid Ahmad Khan, participated in the formulation of the concept of Sayyid identity and status. Islamic ideology and practice have long wrestled with conflicting claims of religious equality and hierarchical statu…

Aligarh's First Generation
This text explores the nature of Muslim cultural identity in 19th-century India and the changes it underwent through colonial rule. It aims to show how one institution, The Mohammadan Anglo Oriental College, with its founders and early students, mediated these changes during the first 25 years of its existence, and evolved methods of adapting to the challenges of colonialism and nationalism
Three Aligarh Students
IN 1912 Shaukat Ali drew from popular Hindu mythology to explain some recent disputes at Aligarh. Sayyid Ahmad Khan was represented by the god Indra, the Muslim community was his sabha, or assembly, and Aligarh College was the divine akhara, or wrestling pit. Shaukat Ali was the Red God, Muhammad Ali, the Little Red God, and Aftab Ahmad Khan, the White God
The Campaign for a Muslim University, 1898-1920
The campaign to establish a Muslim University at Aligarh is a good example of the confluence of education and politics in modern India. The political motives involved were similar to those that lay behind the founding of the Mahomedan Anglo-Oriental College in 1875: a sense that English education was a prerequisite to enfranchisement. By the turn of the century, the stakes were higher and the interests involved had expanded in number and complexi…
