Description
AMU: Institution of Learning or Identity delves into the complex history and multifaceted role of Aligarh Muslim University in Indian society.

It addresses pivotal questions about the balance between secular educational objectives and communal identity, institutional autonomy, and the university’s role in nation-building.
