Aligarh:
Uttarakhand Governor Aziz Qureshi Tuesday highlighted the
contribution of former ruler Begum Sultan Jahan and said Bhopal in
its 240 years' history is the only state that was ruled by women
four times.
Inaugurating a two-day international seminar here on "Sultan Jahan
Begum", first chancellor of the Aligarh Muslim University, Qureshi
said that she was the first woman ruler who worked for the
promotion of education among Muslims.
She established a trust with an endowment of Rs.4 lakh for women
education, he said.
Veteran actress and Begum of Pataudi Sharmila Tagore cautioned
against any attempt to "politicise" issues related to female
education, especially those related to Muslims.
She said that there was a growing perception that official
statistics pertaining to the status of education among Muslim
women did not reflect ground realities.
