An Analytical Study of the Discourse on the Veil and Women Education in Colonial India with Special Reference to Magzine "Khatoon".

Monthly Khatoon appeared in 1904 from Aligarh under the editorship of Sheikh Abdullah, to promote female education among Muslims in colonial India. For 10 years of its existence, 1904-1914, Khatoon played great role in emergence and promotion of Muslim girls earlier at primary level. Later the school grew to college level. Sheikh Abdullah and his wife Waheeda Jahan devoted their whole life in this cause. Undoubtedly, it was monthly "Khatoon" which became the source of inspiration for female education in Muslim India.
