		Earlier, both the Centre and the AMU sought a stay on the January 5 order by the high court on the condition that 50 per cent quota for Muslim students would not be implemented till a final judgment is delivered.
		The high court judgment had held that the AMU was not a minority institution entitled to protection under Article 30 (1) of the Constitution and hence reservation of seats for Muslims was unconstitutional.
		The court had held that as the AMU was established by a central act, the Muslim minority cannot claim to administer it.

	ALIGARH MOVEMENT - Could it fulfil the dream of Sir Sayed Ahmed Khan?
		Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), known more as a movement than an academic institution is one of the most important chapters of Indian history as far as the sociology of Hindu-Muslim relation is concerned.
		Involvement of Muslim students in political agitation gave birth to the demand for raising the MAO College to the status of a university.
		The aim of the university as officially stated (Pro-V.C. Report for the year 1925-26) was "by a happy union of Muslim, Hindu and western cultures to evolve a new outlook that may be foundation of Indian nationalism" (History of AMU by Nizami, page 233).

	Defining moment
		In that case, the Supreme Court held that the AMU was established by a statute, that is, the 1920 Act as passed by the Central legislature, and not by Muslims.
		The question whether the AMU was established by Muslims was important to decide whether Article 30 (1) of the Constitution - which provides that all minorities, whether based on religion or language, shall have the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice - applied to it.
		The petitioners' grievance was that the AMU had reserved 50 per cent of the total seats to be filled with external and internal candidates on the basis of entrance examinations to be conducted by it, in respect of Muslim candidates only, under the resolution of the AMU's Admission Committee and Executive Council.

		Farah Aziz Khanum, a student of journalism at the Aligarh Muslim Universtiy (AMU) has protested the harassment she received for wearing jeans and a t-shirt, commonly seen as 'western' clothes by two men on a motorcycle who threw her shawl on the road and abused her verbally.
		The protest against the AMU for its conservatism by Farah Aziz Khanum marks an important step for Muslim women in fighting for their freedom to not only dress as they please, as a form of self-expression that they have chosen, but also their right to not be harassed.
		The fight for justice on the part of the female students of AMU against the establishment has to be read in the context of bitter disappointment, of dreams shattered, of an ongoing struggle between entrenched members of a community trying to change the status quo.

	The Muslim Experience At Aligarh Muslim University By Nazia Y.Izuddin
		Whenever I talk about Aligarh Muslim University to its alumni, many have been offended by what they think is criticism by a westernized wannabe-feminist Muslim girl who has forgotten her roots and culture.
		When I am at Aligarh Muslim University, I am quite often reminded that I am a girl and how indecent it is for me to be moving with men, even if there is an educational cause.
		There is no life beyond tutors and classes in the university campus for women while on the other hand men play football and basketball in the playgrounds, learn sitar and tabla in the music club and spend their night hours in the university's 24 hour Maulana Azad Library.

		After independence the Muslims from North India continued the struggle to declare the Aligarh University as a minority institution and it was finally in 1981 that the Indira Gandhi Government agreed to amend the Aligarh University Act and it became Aligarh Muslim University.
		Thus the Honourable judges of the Supreme Court concluded that Muslims are one homogenous community and in contrast the Hindus are not.
		It is true that the backward caste Muslims have been left high and dry and all the benefits have gone to a small section of upper caste Muslims and democracy and implementation of Mandal Commission has brought new awareness among these poor and OBC Muslims to fight for their rights.

	INTRODUCTION OF ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY
		Aligarh is situated at a distance of 130 Km., South East of Delhi on Delhi-Calcutta Railway and Grand Trunk Road route.
		The Muslims were not historically or ideologically ready then for the bourgeois nationalist movement as they had developed no bourgeoisie, as the Hindus had done.
		Your duty is to regenerate those old traditions and to create in your University an atmosphere of research and enquiry into all the spheres of knowledge and preach the gospel of large hearted tolerance and of pure morality.

	Beyond scholasticism \| Hard News
		Between 1966 and 1981, particularly after 1972, the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) was the rallying point of agitation by Muslims seeking restoration of its autonomy and the recognition of its minority character, which was taken away by the government in 1965, to be followed by the Acts of 1968 and 1976.
		But independent India treated the AMU graciously and generously, as Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and Dr Zakir Hussain desired, and the AMU has moved from one milestone to another to become one of the premier universities of the country, with a budget of Rs 200 crore, almost wholly funded by the central government.
		There is no doubt that some universities like the Banaras Hindu University, the AMU, the other central universities and the IITs have generally received higher grants per student than other run-of-the-mill universities which have been created by the states and often cannot make their ends meet.

		About Muslims, the conclusion was that, despite all their sectarian differences and social distinctions, they believe in the same God, in the same Prophet and the same Holy Book.
		While contrasting Muslims with Hindus, it was concluded that they (Hindus) donot form one religion but various religions, as their each segment, major or minor, has their distinct deities, and in social relations too, even the marriages of one within the fold of other are not allowed.
		It was transformed into Aligarh Muslim University, not by the Muslims of India, but through the legislation of the British Parliament which was the representative of the whole country As such, neither the Muslims are a religious minority in India and nor they are the founders of Aligarh Muslim University.
