This led to the growth of Aligarh school under Sir Sayeed Ahmed Khan who for the first time made it feel that the Muslims in India were actually subsiding behind due to lack of western education and that it will cost the future generations who will be deprived of any political representation. The relationship Between Muslim league and congress saw many upheavals. At times it required cooperation from both while sometimes it stood on complete opposition to each other.
