MOOT PROBLEM [1]. Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, a great Muslim social reformer and statesman in 1877, for the educational regeneration of Muslims in India started the Muhammadan Anglo— Oriental (M.A.O. College) College at Aligarh, a town in the State of Uttar Pradesh. His objective was to build a college in tune with the British education system but without compromising its Islamic values. Sir Syed's son, Syed Mahmood, had studied at Cambridge and contributed a proposal for an independent university to the Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College Fund Committee upon his return from England in 1872. Thereafter, the idea of establishing a Muslim University gathered strength and the Muslim University Association was formed. The Government of India informed the, Association that a sum of rupees thirty lakhs should be collected before the University could be established. Therefore, Muslim University Foundation Committee #as started and it collected the necessary funds. The contributions were made by Muslims as well as non- Muslims.
[2]. It was one of the first purely residential educational institutions set up either by the government or the public in India. Over the years it gave rise to a new educated class of Indian Muslims who were active in the political system of the British Raj. When viceroy to India Lord Curzon visited the college in 1901, he praised the work which was carried on and called it of "sovereign importance". The college was originally affiliated with the University of Calcutta and was transferred to the Allahabad University in 1885. Near the turn of the century it began publishing its own magazine, The Aligarian, and established a law school. It was also around this time that a movement began to have it develop into a university. To achieve this goal, expansions were made and more programs added to the curriculum.
[3]. In 1920, finally the college was transformed into Aligarh Muslim University
