| description | In May 1912, under the combined influence of the reformist currents of Egypt and the Indian Ocean, the first school described as “modern” in the country, was created in Kuwait. At the same time, the tenth congress of the Association of Indian Ulemas was held in Lucknow, bringing together reformist intellectuals influenced by the legacy of the famous Sayyid Ahmad Khan who died in 1898. The presence of the Syrian thinker Rashid Rida at these two events is a little-known historical fact, despite its importance, right when the ideas of reformism were experiencing an unprecedented increase in circulation in the major port cities of the Persian Gulf. Rida's account of the trip shows how the theme of education was given an unprecedented political and internationalist meaning by the Muslim elites of the Indian Ocean ; a region strongly connected by its port synapses where both mercantile and intellectual networks wove and intertwined together. |
