When India was ruled by the British Government, two dominant trends came together and contributed towards the birth of the university. One was the pro-independence aspiration and the other being the anti-colonial Islamic activism and these two trends gravitated together with their catalyst being the father of the nation. Right from its inception, the university has been growing steadily and now, the university has grown as one of the best central universities in the country.
