March 8, 1912 - Sir Sultan Mohamed Shah, Aga Khan III gave an interview about the need for a Muslim University, with 'The Times of India', Bombay.
'Indian Muslims,' he said, 'must concentrate on the dominating question before them, namely education. If they were to advance in social reform, it was clear that the way must first be prepared by education and education could not be given in a haphazard manner. They must all make persistent efforts, individually and collectively, for the universal diffusion of knowledge, and they must all be prepared individually and collectively, to make sacrifices for it.' (Aziz; 396)
