Hindu College by Prasad Sengupta [Hardcover]

"Hindu College," a significant endeavor initiated by Hindus to spread European education, was established as the first major effort in this field. One of the founders had said on the first day—this seed would one day grow into a banyan tree. Indeed, in its short span of thirty-seven years, "Hindu College" became more than just an educational institution; it became the birthplace of the country's renaissance. As the institution celebrates its bicentennial, this book recounts the fascinating and sacred history of our country. It discusses the first generation of students under the shadow of European education, the teachers, society, and how the activities of a single college transformed the entire history of society. The book also vividly portrays the colorful domestic and social tales of the institution, brought to life with numerous quotations from contemporary journals.
