Badruddin had a quick, almost uncanny ear for languages.
About two years after this important conference, Badruddin died.
Badruddin himself had to learn all these languages before his English education began.
Badruddin did not consider the request courteous enough, and he continued to mumble.
He founded the Indian National Congress, associating Badruddin with it from its inception.
Badruddin started his public life, very suitably, on home ground: that
is, in the affairs of Bombay city.
Mr Smith, Badruddin said to the barrister from the Bench," you have been in this country for several years.
Certainly, Badruddin had no reason to be dissatisfied with the role
he played in helping the Muslim community of India.
Accordingly, rather than attempt to continue a dialogue, Badruddin preferred to withdraw from the politics of north Indian Muslims.
So am I," said Badruddin politely
and left immediately in spite of the flustered judge' s attempts to stop him.
Two years afterwards these elections were held, and Badruddin, Phirozeshah Mehta and Telang all three were elected to the Council,
Badruddin' s home was that splendid
mansion at Breach Candy which is now Sophia College, and his grounds sprawled over seventeen acres.
Later, when the other boys were busy avoiding lessons and playing self-
invented games, Badruddin was, earnestly and solemnly,' pursuing his studies.
If England was the workshop in which Badruddin was collecting the tools of his future career,
what else did he pick up there?
These traditions Badruddin helped to establish in the Bombay High Court,
both by his own example and by putting moral pressure on others.
Badruddin was a great believer in physical fitness
and he knew that the only way to physical fitness was through exercise and sport.
In England, Badruddin also learnt to admire
and emulate the Englishman' s interest in games and sports, and his concern for physical fitness.
This, then, was the aim of the Legislative Council to which Badruddin was nominated as a member by the Governor of Bombay.
Priests from Badri-Kedar Temples Committee(BKTC), which manages the shrine,
also said general consensus over the years has been that Badruddin is the author.
It was for the first time that Badruddin, Phirozeshah Mehta
and Kashinath Brimbak Telang were together taking part in a debate on public affairs.

Badruddin also pointed out that even well-
educated Muslims found it difficult to find suitable employment, since Arabic and Persian had little market value.
It was finally in 1887,
at the third Congress session held in Madras, that Badruddin was able,
not only to attend, but to preside as well.
Two years afterwards these elections were held, and Badruddin, Phirozeshah Mehta and Telang all three were elected to the Council,
among other well- known citizens.
As we said earlier Badruddin always had a great deal of faith in an electoral system,
especially where the voters were persons of some education.
Between the British government and their man Syed Ahmed Khan,
the Muslims were incapable of taking the harder road, and Badruddin had to admit defeat.
Sir Syed was influential in north India, and because of him Badruddin did not succeed in persuading Muslims
to join the Congress in large numbers.
AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal on Sunday said the party will
extend its support to the independent candidates in places where AIUDF will not field any candidate.
Badruddin explained, two real reasons why the Muslims
were so educationally backward, and why, consequently they could not become prosperous or successful in the modern world.
It is difficult to resist the temptation to repeat that, had Badruddin lived a few years longer,
the history of Indian Muslims might have been happier.
