Solution
The correct option is A Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan
It was said that Sir Sayyid Ahmad believed that since the Hindus formed the majority of the Indian population, they would dominate the Muslims in case of a withdrawal of the British rule. He felt that the continuance of British rule was a “guarantee for the welfare and progress of the community.” Therefore, he declared that if the educated Muslims support the British, the latter would reward them with government jobs and other special favours.
