Summary |
One of the most influential social figures of British India, Syed AhmedℓKhan was a social activist who was instrumental in protecting lives during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. He quickly became a national figure for his peaceful advocacy during the Hindi-Urdu controversy. At the beginning of his career he sought equality for all Indians, Hindu and Muslim, but in his later years he advocated only for Muslims, believing that trouble between the two was inevitable. Historians of all kinds will find this biography of this complicated, conflicted man to be most interesting.ℓ |
