पुढीलपैकी कोणते विधान सर सय्यद अहमद खान यांचे आहे ?
(a) आधुनिक शिक्षणाचा व इंग्रजी भाषेचा स्वीकार केल्याशिवाय मुस्लीम समाजाची प्रगती होणे अवघड आहे.
(b) हिंदू व मुसलमान म्हणजे 'भारत वधूचे' नेत्र होत.
(c) हिंदुस्थानात हिंदू व मुसलमान ही दोन राष्ट्रे आहेत.
(d) मुसलमानांनी भारतीय राष्ट्रीय काँग्रेसपासून दूर राहावे.

The correct answer is Option D (All of the above).

Key Points:
• Ideological Evolution of Sir Syed Ahmed Khan (1817–1898):
• Modern Education: He consistently argued that modern Western scientific education and English were imperative for Muslims to progress.
• Two Eyes of a Bride (Early Phase): In his earlier composite nationalist phase (1884 speech at Gurdaspur/Punjab), he famously remarked: *'Hindu and Muslim are two eyes of the beautiful bride that is Hindustan. Weakness in one disfigures the whole bride.'*
• Two Nations & Opposition to INC (Later Phase): In his later years (post-1887 Meerut & Lucknow speeches), influenced by Theodore Beck, he opposed the Indian National Congress, warned Muslims that representative democracy would establish Hindu majority rule, urged Muslims to stay away from INC, and articulated the distinct identity/interests of Hindus and Muslims as two communities/nations.
• All four statements (a), (b), (c), and (d) reflect his statements across different phases (Option 4).
• Key Takeaway: Sir Syed coined the 'two eyes of bride' metaphor early on, but later opposed INC, advocated modern English schooling, and spoke of two nations.
