Banaras Hindu University – Courses, Admission, Fees & Ranking
The great nationalist leader Madan Mohan Malviya, with the help of the Maharaja of Darbhanga Rameshwar Singh, Sunder Lal and the British theosophical Annie Besant, founded Banaras Hindu University in 1916. The university used to be Central Hindu College and was conceptualised with a revolutionary perspective of being a university of Indians built by Indians, which would serve to be precedent-setting in assimilating between East and West.
