Hindu College Delhi: A People’s Movement

This book is the first-ever illustrated history of Hindu College, Delhi, a premier institution founded in 1899. The continued struggle for success and survival only underscores the outstanding commitment of its founding fathers, teachers, and students in the early years. The college had to face several odds and a hostile administration, which feared the patriotic fervour of the college, as it provided a hub for national leaders to address the country’s youth. The college groomed great nationalists ready to take on the British regime. It is no wonder that the college has produced some of the most illustrious alumni who have contributed to different fields, resulting in the overall progress of our country. The essence of more than three years of relentless pursuit of authentic material from multiple sources has been distilled into this book, which is bound to appeal to both the older and present generations of people linked to the prestigious Hindu College.
