Aligarh: Now it will be easier for people knowing only native languages like Oriya, Marathi and Punjabi to get acquainted with various aspects of the life of great reformer and founder of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), Sir Syed Ahmad Khan.
AMU’s Sir Syed Academy is going to publish his biography in five Indian languages: Oriya, Marathi, Kashmiri, Bengali and Punjabi, shortly, for which the Academy is consulting authors. Sir Syed’s biography has been published in a number of languages.
The newly-elected director of Sir Syed Academy, Prof. Dr. Shan Mohammad, said that the proposed series of the biography is expected to be prepared by October 2008, whereupon this low cost book will become available to public.
The museum and the gallery of the Academy that furnish information about Sir Syed will also be expanded by that time. School-going children can visit the museum during University hours in guidance of their teachers.
