Syed Ameer Ali Order of the Star of India[5] (6 April 1849 – 3 August 1928) was an Indian jurist, a prominent political leader, and an author of a number of influential books on Muslim history and the modern development of Islam.[1][2][3][6]
He hailed from the state of Oudh from where his father moved and settled down in the Bengal Presidency and is credited for his contributions to the law of India, particularly Muslim personal law, as well as the development of political philosophy for Muslims, during the British Raj.
He was a signatory to the 1906 Petition to the Viceroy and was thus a founding-member of the All India Muslim League.[4][7] He played a key role in securing separate electorates for the Muslims in British India and promoting the cause of the Khilafat Movement.[8][4]
