LITERARY OPPONENTS OF SIR SYED AHMED KHAN

Abstract

In the case of recognizing Sir Syed Ahmad Khan there were two specific ideologies i.e. support and opposition. Where there was no shortage of his supporters, his opponents were also present in large numbers. One section was purely opposed to his personality and tried to make every aspect of his life controversial while the other were close friends and they criticized his Islamic beliefs only. The writers spent decades collecting material written for and against him.  This article examines his disputes and controversies in detail.
