Islamic Religious Reforms Movement:
A decline was seen in the conditions of Muslims after the end of Mughal rule. The Muslims opposed English education. It was a sway of evil customs in Muslim society due to which their social and political participation started declining. During this crucial time, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, a social reformer, tried to remove these improper and evil customs from the society. He established a school in Aligarh in 1875, which later turned into a college in the same year and was named as Mohammadan Anglo Oriental College.
It was made a University in 1920 and was named as Aligarh Muslim University. He sent a message to Muslims that they should remain faithful towards the British governance. He conducted the Wahabi movement and spread education among Muslims. After that movement, a social and political awareness rose up among Muslims and they started thinking about independence.
