Sayyid Ahmad Khan is normally credited as the first Muslim leader of the
nineteenth century to identify that Hindus and Muslims of India, in spite of living
together for centuries, were still two different entities. Many even consider him to
be the founder of two nation theory in the modern times. This article, however, is
an attempt to challenge this assumption on the basis of historical facts. Sayyid’s
initial stance about the Hindu-Muslim harmony, his reaction to the Urdu-Hindi
controversy and opinion about the creation of Indian National Congress are
discussed in details. However, the author has tried to bring forward the other side
of the story as well according to which though Sayyid opposed any development or
proposal which went against the interests of the Indian Muslims, yet he never
developed hatred against the Hindu community living in India. Sayyid wanted to
secure the political, social and economic interests of the Indian Muslims when he
turned against Indian National Congress but at the same time he encouraged
Hindus to join hands with him in the establishment of United Indian Patriotic
Association.
