Because of its residential nature, where students spend their first five to ten years of life with others their age, AMU was and continues to be a singular experience. Sharing everything, dining, studying, and living together forges strong familial ties, and this is frequently what keeps the Aligarians motivated even later in life. When they get together again, they try to recreate the good times from their youth and rekindle their common aspirations and goals, which revives the renowned “Aligarh Spirit.” All members of the AMU fraternity refer to themselves as “Aligns” or “Aligarians,” regardless of whether they are students, instructors, or other university employees. Aligarh Muslim University Notable Alumni
