Answer 1

Sir Syed Ahmed Khan had started a reform movement among the Muslims called the Aligarh Movement.

Explanation:

Sir Sayyid Ahmed Khan founded the Aligarh Movement, a socio-religious reform movement that promoted modern Western education, scientific reasoning, and social reforms among Indian Muslims. Centred in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, the movement aimed to bridge the educational gap between Muslims and other communities while discouraging traditional social evils. As a monumental step toward this objective, he established the Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College in 1875, which eventually evolved into the prestigious Aligarh Muslim University (AMU).
