History of any country is very important because every country established after a great history. Mostly the people have largely neglected the power of history. History helps us to get knowledge about our national heroes who give the sacrifice of their lives and homes for the establishment of their country.
Pakistan comes into being on 14 August 1947. Peoples who give sacrifices for their dear homeland are Allama Iqbal, Quaid-e-Azam, Liaquat Ali khan, Sir Syed Ahmad khan etc.
Now I am going to share some knowledge about Tehreek e Aligarh which was the first Movement for Muslims after 1857 war.

                      

                          Aligarh Movement   

 Educational Services:

After the 1857 war, Muslims was disappointed and Hindus were also against the Muslims. During this situation, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan was the best for Muslims. Major issues for starting this movement are:

1. Muslims were killed in large numbers.
2. Education was killed for Muslims.
3. Muslims were expelled from government offices.

For this reason, Muslims select  Sir Syed Ahmad khan as their leader.
Sir Syed Ahmad Khan thought that Muslims are not getting freedom without education. He gives advice to the Muslims to get the education. He also makes the platforms for education.

1. In 1859, he made a school for Muslims in Muradabad and in 1862, he made a school in Ghazi-Pur.
2. He made a school in 1875, M-A-O high school in Aligarh and it made university after his death.
3. In 1886, he made an organization for the Muslims rights.

 Political Services:

Sir Syed Ahmad Khan gave advice to the Muslims to get the only education because he knows that Muslims did not get their rights without education. Muslims in India were in minority and the Hindus were in majority and Muslims did not compete with Hindus. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan said that the Muslims were quite a different nation than the Hindus society, economically, politically and religiously. Sir Syed was the disappointed from the Hindus language movement in 1867 and he started their struggle for a separate homeland for Muslims.
