Built upon the foundations of the madrasa of Ghaziu's-Din, the Delhi College still evokes a strong emotive reaction.

It was a site of encounter between Oriental and Western Knowledge and of struggle for the place of traditional elites within the colonial framework. Central to this historic encounter was the translation activity of the College-of books and articles from English and from Arabic and Persian to Urdu, but also translation and adaptation of cultural forms like newspaper and publishing ventures, associations, and public interactions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Delhi college brings together renowned scholars from a wide array of disciplines-history, art, literature-covering topics ranging from the history of the building and the White Mughals of Delhi, to the biographies of the patrons, teachers, and puils of the college, their work at the College and beyond, and their place under colonial rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e It explores how far the colonial intentions were executed, re-interpreted, adapted, and resisted or simply ignored in the day-to-day life of the educational institution.

He would truly have deserved a felicitation volume for his seventy-fifth birthday in 2005, if it were not for one problem: the fields of his interests and scholarship, to which he guided his 'academic family' from all over the world, were just too wide No one could have convinced a publisher to bring out a volume covering the centuries from the early Muslim rulers of Delhi almost to the present, extending over Persia and the whole of Hindustan, and encompassing not only art and architecture, but history, linguistics, literature, philosophy, and mysticism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e I was searching for a solution to this dilemma when it occurred to me that a book on the Delhi College, on the institution he has lived for and that he cherishes more than his own person, would be the right way not only to acknowledge, but to carry on his life-work. I know that with his characteristic modesty Professor Jaffery would have preferred to remain unnamed and let all the attention fall on the college alone, but this was a wish I for once was not inclined to grant him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e \u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"10%\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"80%\"\u003ePreface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"10%\"\u003ev\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eix\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ci\u003eMargrit Pernau\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 1:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Historical Background\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe Madrasa of Ghaziu'd-Din Khan at Delhi\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEbba Koch\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransculturation Assimilation, and its Limits: \u003cbr\u003eThe Rise and Fall of the Delhi \u003cbr\u003e White Mughals 1805-57\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWilliam Dalrymple\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection 2:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrons and Teachers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDr Aloys Sprenger and the College \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ci\u003eM.
