Why did Sir Syed Ahmad Khan advise the Muslims not to join the Congress?

The right answer is: (A) It was dominated by Hindu leaders. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan (1817-1898), the founder of the Aligarh Movement, counselled Muslims not to join the Indian National Congress because he thought it was dominated by Hindu leaders and that it basically stood for Hindu interests. He was apprehensive that Muslims would be politically marginalized in a Hindu-majority body. His strategy was centered on Muslim education and separate political identity, which formed the foundation for future Muslim political movements in India.
