The Aligarh Muslim University Students' Union (AMUSU) is the official Students' Union of the Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India.The Aligarh Muslim University Students' Union is the university-wide representative body for students and is autonomous in nature.

It is primarily responsible for building and preserving a healthy political culture and an atmosphere of open debates on the campus.

History

It was established as a Students' Debating Society named after the first principal Henry George Impey Siddons of Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College, the parent body of Aligarh Muslim University, on the model of Cambridge Union Society. The club was started in 1884 at Strachey Hall, located at the college premises. Debates of various issues related to Muslims of India and the world used to be conducted in the Siddons Union Club. The club had enthusiasm among the students of the M.A.O. College for its debates and English Style Club used to inculcate the debating skills and knowledge of English Language among the students. The founder, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan considered competence in English and "debating skills" necessary for maintaining Muslims' political influence, especially in Northern India. Khan's image for the college was based on his visit to Oxford and Cambridge and he wanted to establish an education system similar to the British model.
