Summary:
Hyderabad: Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and Sir Syed Ahmad Khan were believers in ‘unity in diversity’ as they drew their conclusion from the rich amalgamation of ancient Indian civilisation and Islamic culture. Sir Syed died in 1898 that is 10 years after Maulana Azad was born. Sir Syed was born in 1817 and worked extensively to introduce modern education among Muslims. Azad came under the influence of writings and works of Sir Syed at a young age but later drifted away from his political and religious views. Dr Mohammad Aslam Parvaiz, Vice-Chancellor, said that the university would continue to focus on the core values preached by Maulana Azad who was also the first Education Minister of India..
