Produktinformationen zu „The Inception of Banaras Hindu University: Who Was the Founder in the Light of Historical Documents? (ePub)“
Benaras Hindu University has drawn immense public attention of late. The widely prevailed notion that its founder was only one charismatic person, Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya has now been legitimized by decorating him (posthumously) with Bharat Ratna, the countrys highest civilian honour.
Nothing can be farther from the truth. The documents unearthed almost a century after the creation of B.H.U. vividly reveal his status and role in the Committee for the Establishment of Benaras Hindu University. Malviya can be considered, at best, simply as one along with Mrs. Annie Besant, Sir Sundar Lal under the leadership of the then Maharaja of Darbhanga, Sir Rameshwara Singh, who led the movement for the establishment of the first denominational university in India.
These historical documents present evidence of how and by whom the colonial power was successfully persuaded to inaugurate a new chapter of Indias cultural history by yielding to the mission of establishing the first private university in the country.

Autoren-Porträt von Tejakar Jha
It is not necessary to be a historian to write history. Tejakar Jha, an MA in Sociology from Patna University, has been living by this dictum for quite some time now.Essentially a marketing research professional, Tejakar started 'Vigyapan', his own design studio, in 2001 after a stint with a leading advertising agency of Bihar. But the state's rich history and many an untold stories kept pushing him towards substantial research. He has been working on the history of Bihar during the colonial period for the last 12 years.
Cited by scholars in India and abroad, his works include: 'Bihar in the Eyes of British Traveller and Painters, 1780-1850' (published by Maharajadhiraja Kameshwar Singh Kalyani Foundation, Darbhanga, 2008), and 'Walking Down the Lane, A Pictorial Tribute to Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the First President of India' (published by Bihar State Archives, Patna, 2011). Tejakar has been consulted in developing the recent publications of the state's Art and Culture Department, including 'A Monumental History of Patna' and 'Bihar ke Dharohar'.
