Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s invitation as the chief guest in the centenary celebrations of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) is nothing short of historic. Not many people saw this coming and when the university announced that Prime Minister will be the chief guest on the occasion, many people felt shocked and bewildered. There were numerous voices of dissent asking the university officials to reconsider their invitation to Prime Minister. However, the university administration refused to succumb to the demand and Prime Minister Narendra Modi not just joined the centenary celebrations held online, but also went on to deliver a rather impressive speech, praising the great services that the university has rendered over the past 100 years as university and previous 45 years as Muhammadan Anglo Oriental College.
