Show answer

Answer: C. 1862

Explanation

Sir Syed Ahmad Khan moved from Moradabad to Ghazipur following his official government transfer in 1862. This relocation marked a new chapter in his career as a civil servant and an educational reformer. While stationed in Ghazipur, he established the famous Scientific Society to translate western literature. Sir Syed served in various judicial and administrative capacities under the British colonial administration. Government transfers were routine for civil servants during the nineteenth-century colonial administration. His postings provided him with the financial stability and leisure time needed for extensive academic writing.

Professional relocations often expose reformers to new communities, inspiring innovative civic initiatives. Documenting exact biographical timelines helps historians trace the evolution of a reformer's public career. Balancing demanding government service with voluntary educational reform requires exceptional organizational skills. 1859 predates his official transfer and falls during the turbulent post-mutiny reconstruction period. 1863 occurs one full year after his documented official administrative move to Ghazipur. 1868 represents a later period when he was actively involved in founding other major educational projects.
