About
College :-
Hindu College had a humble beginning. It was first housed in a small
building in Kinari Bazar, Chandni Chowk. One of the first boys on
its rolls was Sir Shri Ram who later became the Chairman of the College
Governing Body. In 1902, Punjab University threatened to disaffiliate
Hindu College unless it acquired a proper building of its own. In
this crisis, Rai Bahadur Lala Sultan Singh came to the rescue of the
College and donated a part of his historic property at Kashmiri Gate,
which was originally owned by Col Skinner. The College moved to its
present campus in 1953.
Hindu College was a centre for intellectual debate during India's
Freedom Struggle, especially during the Quit India Movement In fact
the College remained closed for several months in 1942 responding
to Gandhiji's call to students and teachers to join the Movement.
Its amphitheatre at Kashmiri Gate attracted famous leaders like Lokmanya
Tilak, Annie Besant, Mahatma Gandhi, Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya, Sarojini
Naidu, Mohammed All Jinnah, Motilal Nehru, JawaharLal Nehru and others.
