Sir Syed Ahmad Khan founded the Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental Defence Association in 1893.
Sir Syed Ahmad Khan established this association with the objective of protecting the political rights of Muslims and consolidating Muslim opinion against joining the Indian National Congress. He believed that representative government based on elections would lead to Hindu majority dominance, which he perceived as detrimental to Muslim interests.
