The book explores an educational journey that has its beginnings nearly three centuries ago. Prior to the existence of this school, the campus at Ajmeri Gate had housed the Ghaziuddin madrasa and its successor, the famed Delhi College. The book documents the journey of the school from its inception in the late 19th century, its progress in the first half of the 20th century and finally its shutting down at the time of Partition. The story then moves on to the school's subsequent regeneration in post-independent India and analyzes its journey ever since. It also explores the complex relationship between the school and the community it seeks to serve. In telling the story of the Anglo-Arabic School a number of stories are unpacked. The school at Ajmeri Gate is a reminder of a community's glory and grandeur, with many generations of noted Muslim\u003cbr\u003efamilies having studied there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAzra Razzack, \u003cem\u003eProfessor, Jamia Millia Islamia\u003c\/em\u003e, Atyab Siddiqui, \u003cem\u003eIndependent Scholar, \u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAzra Razzack is Professor of Sociology, Centre for Dalit and Minorities Studies, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi.\u003cbr\u003eAtyab Siddiqui is a lawyer by practice and an independent scholar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 516\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.23 x 8.82 x 5.88 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42171265089671,"sku":"9788194831624","price":162.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/a550fc219ff851defaa21630d2b67726.webp?v=1733354350","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-school-at-ajmeri-gate-delhis-educational-legacy-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
