What was the vision that inspired, say, Syed Ahmad Khan and Rabindranath Tagore, to conceive of an education centre? What meanings did they and the generations thereafter attach to Western learning? Again, how did the gurukuls in Haryana and the Presidency College in Calcutta relate to the colonial government? How did Dehli College, St. Stephen's College, Indraprastha College and the Jamia Millia Islamia, all located in the same city, respond to nationalist activities? What has been the impact of the changes that have taken place after Independence? Finally, are there some lessons to be drawn from the experiences and performance of our educational institutions?'
