The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Scientific Society of Aligarh&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was a literary society founded by [[Syed Ahmad Khan|Sir Syed Ahmad Khan]] at [[Aligarh]]. The main objectives of the society was to translate Western works on arts and science into vernacular languages and promote western education among the masses.&amp;lt;ref name=scientificsociety&amp;gt;{{Cite journal|last=Azmi|first=Arshad Ali|title=The Aligarh Scientific Society 1864-1867|date=1969|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/44138412|journal=Proceedings of the Indian History Congress|volume=31|pages=414–420|jstor=44138412|issn=2249-1937}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
On January 9, 1864 Sir Syed formed a translation society called Scientific Society at Ghazipur with the goal of translating scientific books of English and other European languages into Urdu and Hindi.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://aligarhmovement.com/Institutions/scientific_society|access-date=2020-12-25|website=aligarhmovement.com|title=Scientific Society &amp;amp;#124; Aligarh Movement}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;This society was moved in April 1864 to Aligarh and henceforth also known as the Scientific Society of Aligarh.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://aligarhmovement.com/Institutions/scientific_society|access-date=2020-12-25|website=aligarhmovement.com|title=Scientific Society &amp;amp;#124; Aligarh Movement}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The society sought to promote liberal, modern education and Western scientific knowledge in the [[Muslim]] community in [[India]]. The society was modelled after the [[Royal Society]] and the [[Royal Asiatic Society]]. Sir Syed assembled Muslim scholars from different parts of the country and the society held annual conferences, disbursed funds for educational causes and regularly published a journal on scientific subjects in [[English language|English]] and Urdu.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Singh|first=M.
