 History of Three Centuries

The journey of Zakir Husain Delhi College started as the Oriental College for Literature,
Science and Art. In 1825, the institution was renamed Delhi College by the British East
India Company’s government. In 1828, the college added a new course of study in
English language, literature and science. Hence, apart from preserving traditional
systems of knowledge, Delhi College was one of the pioneers in offering English
education in the country, providing a constructive engagement between the oriental and
western intellectual traditions, particularly before the 1857 revolt. The college answered
to the needs of the city by providing a distinctly diverse cultural ambience that cherished
composite culture and a spirit of mutual accommodation. By the early twentieth century
it became the centre of vibrant scientific and literary intellectual activities that would
be referred to as the ‘Delhi Renaissance’. In 1842, the college shifted to Dara Shikoh’s
library near Kashmiri Gate and the Delhi College Translation Society was set up as its
adjunct in 1843.

After the revolt of 1857 in which the revolutionaries plundered the college, the
institution passed through many vicissitudes. The British authorities closed the
institution after the revolt. Between 1864 and 1871 intermediate Bachelor of Arts and
Master of Arts classes commenced. However, the British government transferred the
Delhi Oriental College to Lahore in 1877. It was reconstituted as the Anglo-Arabic
Intermediate College in 1924. The college was affiliated to Delhi University in 1925
and became one of its constituent degree colleges in 1929. The college was attacked
and set on fire by mobs following the partition. Somehow, the library and office records
were saved. With the support of Dr. Zakir Husain and others, the Delhi College was
revived in 1948. In 1975, the college was renamed Dr. Zakir Husain College to honor
his contribution to the institution. In 1986, the college campus was shifted to its present
location, Jawaharlal Nehru Marg. The current location of college outside the Turkman
Gate geographically and symbolically unites Old Delhi with New Delhi, merging old
traditions towards progress and modernity. The Zakir Husain Memorial Trust in its
meeting, held in July 2010 and chaired by Hon'ble Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan
Singh, unanimously resolved to rename the college as Zakir Husain Delhi College. In
its journey of three centuries, what remains unchanged is the institution’s commitment
to dissemination of knowledge and the creation of a scientific temper, together with
promoting secular and progressive values.
