I studied in Dayal Singh College, Lahore, in 1941-43. Its founder was a Sikh, who was also a Brahmo Samajist. During my time, it was being run by Sardar Dayal Singh Trust, and was a non-denominal institution. The Principal was K.C. Neogi, a Bengali Hindu, presumably a Brahmo Samajist and the teaching staff was predominently Hindu with the exception of only two Muslim professors - Maulana Tajwar teaching Persion and Abid Ali teaching Urdu. My own father, Jaya Chandra Shastri was teaching Sanskrit. After the partition, I understand, Abid Ali became its first Muslim & Pakistani Principle. Partition left the college decimated as a majority of students and teaching staff left Lahore. It was then that the college came under the control of Pakistan Government or Punjab govt., and made Muslim denominational. As regards the Will of Dayal Singh Majithia, which allegedly made the college a Muslim institution, I am constrained to say that it is a post-partition concoction. Majithia was a Sikh and a Brahmo Samajist. There is absolutely no way how he could have forestalled the creation of Pakistan and concomitantly Muslim control over the college. The source of my information is my own and my family's intimate connection (my 4 siblings also studied at this college}, apart from my father teaching there for almost 20 years. My submission is that the will of Dayal Singh Majithia, if available, should be checked and the needless fabrication of his willing it to be a Muslim institution be corrected.103.11.51.154 (talk) 16:22, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
