The Conservatives Looked for Safety in the Cocoon but Syed Wanted Modern Education and Friendship With the British: there was a spree of activism among the traditionalist Muslims and they founded Dar-ul-Ulum Deoband in 1866 led by Muhammad Qasim Nanotawi. The ulema had mostly not been in consonance with intelligentsia Since 1857. 3 Since 1857 a bifurcation resulted as to the method to be adopted for retaining and refurbishing power of the Muslim community now bereft of political and economic backing. It was thought that shift from puritanical Islam was the cause of woes of the Muslims. Helpless State of Musliom Aritocracy since Mid 18th Century: After the Muslim political power began to wane and came almost to end in the middle of 18th century, the Muslim aristocracy found itself in a helpless state and reverted to medievalism for regaining power. 1 Tufail Ahmed rightly reminds that it was from the campus of Aligarh Muslim University that the Pakistan Movement originated. For this reason sir Syed is hailed, and assailed, as the founder of Muslim separatism on the subcontinent. The most noteworthy feature of the Pakistan movement is that its leadership came almost entirely from the Western-educated Muslim professionals such that were produced in Aligarh. He is held in high esteem also by the students, faculty and alumnus of Aligarh. He is regarded an educationist, a visionary, a reformist and a politician by those in Pakistan who believe that creation of Pakistan is an unalloyed achievement and a section of Indian Muslims who think Aligarh empowered them and helped them in gaining a separate identity.
Sir Syed Ahmed was a determined unique and powerful personality.
