Abstract

The study of history revealed that there always be a complex relationship between colonizer and the colonized people. Both relate to each other in a relationship of power. Methodology: Imperial power or the hegemony of the colonizer always made deep impact on every aspect of life of the colonized people. Sub-continent or India was the largest colony of the Great Britain with respect to area/land and population. Results: The concept of Muslim education was revolutionized during the British rule because of the interior conditions, dominance of British imperialism and the start of identity politics in the Muslims of the sub-continent. Conclusion: British government policies and the spread of modern education among Muslim males created a space for the education of Muslim women. During British period, large number of institutions were established which were purely for the education of Muslim girls. Many national level associations were established to spread awareness about women education among Muslims.
