Indian Muslim Renaissance

The Indian Muslim Renaissance was a cultural and intellectual awakening during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, aimed at reviving and reforming Muslim identity, education, and social practices within India. It emphasized modern education, reinterpretation of religious texts, and engagement with broader social and political issues, fostering a sense of pride and progress. Led by thinkers like Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, it sought to bridge traditional Islamic values with contemporary ideas, ultimately inspiring social reform, increased literacy, and greater participation in India's national movement.
