 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.
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.
And if the university does not shed its feudal and dictatorial qualities, it is going to go down on quality, both in terms of education and students.

 ALIGARH MOVEMENT - Could it fulfil the dream of Sir Sayed Ahmed Khan?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
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.
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).
In stead of pursuing the academic goal of the university its authorities are mostly engaged in arousing the religious sentiments of Muslims with a view to keep alive the bogey of its minority character.

After hearing brief arguments on both sides, the court ordered that the character of the university should be maintained as on the date of the filing of the writ petition before the high court and referred the petitions to the Chief Justice for constituting a Constitution bench to hear the case.
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.
On the high court striking down the provision in the Aligarh Muslim University (Amendment) Act, 1981, the university said the constitutional validity of the act was not an issue before the court.
