Overview

Its founders built the institution on slender resources being Gandhian in their worldview and willing to work for community and nation without thought for personal gain. Yet even in those straitened beginnings, the subject of history was seen as an important one since in a largely undergraduate institution, history was one of the few subjects chosen for post-graduate degrees and courses.

Key Features

The History department at Jamia Millia Islamia under the leadership of a group of distinguished historians such as Muhammad Mujeeb, Mohibul Hasan, B.R. Grover, Mohammad Azhar Ansari, emphasized the teaching and writing of the social and cultural history of medieval India.

These scholars saw social and cultural history as a way of both understanding and bringing about progressive change in South Asia. Prof. Mujeeb’s book on The Indian Muslims, the work of Prof. Mohibul Hasan and Prof. Azhar Ansari embodies such history and was part of the syllabi not only in Indian universities but worldwide.
