Sir Syed Ahmed Khan was a 19th century Indian Muslim reformer and educator who founded the Aligarh Movement. He established several schools for Muslims, including the Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College in 1875, which later became Aligarh Muslim University. Sir Syed realized the importance of modern education for India's Muslims and helped introduce them to scientific thought and social reforms. In addition to his educational services, he played a role in politics by defending Muslim rights and was an advocate of the two-nation theory due to Hindu-Muslim tensions. Sir Syed dedicated his life to improving conditions for India's Muslim community through educational institutions and social services.
The Khilafat movement (1919-1924) was an agitation by Indian Muslims allied with Indian nationalism in the years following World War I. Its purpose was to pressure the British government to preserve the authority of the Ottoman Sultan as Caliph of Islam following the breakup of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the war.
Most historians believe that Islam originated in Mecca and Medina at the start of the 7th century CE, approximately 600 years after the founding of Christianity.

By the mid of the nineteenth century, Muslims from North Africa to South-East Asia found themselves defensive in the face of European expansion. European imperialism had become a threat to Islam politically, economically, morally and culturally. It not only challenged the Muslim religio-cultural identity but it also attacked their generation old customs and traditions. European domination of the Muslim world shattered the image of Islam as an expanding worldwide force. Europe had become a constant threat to the religious and political life of the Muslims. This image gained support and popularity by the designs and policies of the European colonial powers. Many of the colonial government officials and missionaries were propagating that Europe’s expansion and domination was due to its basic cultural superiority. They were considering it their duty to educate the natives in the language, history and sciences of the West. They were also claiming that Christian values were a part of ‘enlightened’ policy to civilize.
Responses to British imperialism passed through many phases from complete rejection and violent confrontation to unquestioned admiration and slavish adoration. Some people looked European aggression as another episode of Crusades, a Christian military war against Islam. Some of the traditional Muslim religious leaders suggested that the Muslims should leave their country which was no longer under the Muslim rule following the Holy Prophet’s migration to Madina. This option proved impractical keeping in view the large number of Muslims. Another option was of jihad : a holy war to defend the faith. But the holy war was doomed to defeat because of the superior military strength of Europe. Some religious leaders suggested that the best solution was a complete boycott of their colonial masters. They decided to live aloof frosm the British and take away their children from the schools and institutions established by the English rulers. Any form of cooperation with the British was regarded as surrender to the enemy or treason with Islam. Modern education was regarded as something alien, unnecessary and a danger to religious beliefs.
If some people rejected the western culture completely, others were eager to ‘modernize’ themselves. They wanted that western cultural superiority should be acknowledged in order to survive. This was a new class of modern, educated and western-oriented people. Some of them used Islamic principles to legitimize this transformation . The traditional Islamic basis of Muslim societies had been replaced by the ideology, law and institutions of the W

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
