Solution
The Indian National Congress was growing its influence rapidly. It caused quite an uneasiness in the Government circles also. Mr. Beck was the Principal of the MAO College, Aligarh. He took keen interest in the formation of the Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental Defence Association and became its Secretary. The object of this Association was to dissuade the Muslims from joining the Indian National Congress and to advocate their loyalty to the British Government. Principal Beck not only strengthened the hands of the British Government but played a significant role in pursuing the policy of ‘Divide and Rule’. This was what the British Government had been doing ever since the Indian National Congress started becoming popular.
