In the eyes of Syed Hasan Riaz, there was only one Sir Syed Ahmad Khan among the Muslims at that time, who understood the tricks of the Hindus and the British, while the entire nation was ignorant of the English language. Muslims hated the British and Hindus, mourned the greatness of the world, were in need of Nan Shabina, and were in debt.
Sir Syed Ahmad Khan had seen the results of mixed elections in municipal and district councils in which the Muslim chiefs had generally failed. When the Congress demanded mixed elections in the councils and competitive examinations for higher jobs, Sirsed turned to him and called by-elections and competitive examinations unsuitable and harmful for Muslims. In this connection, he also mentioned an incident that a very senior Muslim met me in Calcutta and said that he was angry.
Eighteen Muslim members were to be elected (to the Municipal Council) in our city. No one was elected and all Hindus have been elected. This is the situation of all cities. If the special rule had not been set in Aligarh, a Muslim, even our friend Khwaja Muhammad Yusuf, who is highly respected, could hardly get votes to get himself elected.
Sir Syed Ahmad Khan proposed an alternative and fairer system whereby the Viceroy’s Council would have a certain number of Hindus and Muslims and elect the Hindu members as Hindus and the Muslim members as equal numbers. His proposal for elections came to be known as separate elections, which was well received by the Muslim community. The idea of equality was presented by the Quaid-e-Azam in 1946 in connection with the establishment of the interim government.
Long before the Shimla deputation, Sir Syed had discussed this subject with the Muslim leaders. The Simla deputation met Viceroy Minto in 1905, in which the principle of separate elections for Muslims was settled. From this point of view, Sirsyed had shown practical vision, political insight and frustrat. He realized as early as 1867 that Hindus and Muslims could not work together in the political process. In that year some prominent Hindus of Benares had an idea that as far as possible Yes, an effort should be made to eliminate Urdu language and Persian script from all government courts and instead use Bhasha language which is written in Devanagari.
Sir Syed says that it was the first time that I was convinced that it is impossible for Hindus and Muslims to live together as a nation. Their argument was that by living in one place for centuries, they had united on two issues. They were most united in language. Hindus were busy trying to break it. The famous French Orientalist, who spent his life in the study of Urdu language, says in a lecture about this issue: Hindu prejudices have made them resistant in every matter that reminds them of Muslim rule. The Hindus formed the Congress without consulting the Muslims.
They wanted the Muslims to join them so that they would remain their slaves. Sir Syed refused to join the Congress and prevented Muslims from participating in it. Now you see the real face of the Congress leadership who accused Sarsaid of being a sidekick and flatterer of the British, while she herself did not tire of praising the British and praising their loyalty.
The President of the first session of the Congress was Mr. Bonerjee. He said in the Presidential Sermon of 1885: “No one has the full and permanent goodwill of the British Government more than me.” “We should speak like men and declare that we are loyal to the British to the bone. We understand the benefits that the British government has extended to us. We deeply appreciate the education that has been given to us and the new light that has been shed on us. In our darkness He has given light.
During the debate on Lord Cross’s India Reforms Bill in the House of Lords, one after another several Viceroys bore strong testimony to our peaceful aims and efforts. Mr. Ramya, author of The History of the Congress, writes that in the early days the Congress loved to demonstrate its loyalty.

On the contrary, Sarsyid wrote articles titled “Reasons of Revolt” to protect the Muslims from the reproach of the British and was busy in creating understanding between the Muslims and the British with dignity. Maulana Hali had compiled ‘Hayat-e Javed’ in two volumes about the personality and achievements of Sarsyyed.
After reading it, the surprising aspects of his personality come to light, but his religious beliefs remained the subject of criticism among the public and private individuals. There are services that should be looked at with admiration and supplications for them should be continued.
