Here's my review of Laurent Gautier's excellent book Between Nation and Community: Muslim Universities and Indian Politics after Partition .... for the Scroll. Do read!

This book asks why the Indianness of Aligarh Muslim University, Jamia Millia Islamia is questioned

‘Between Nation and Community’ cites primary and secondary sources and oral testimonies to understand what India thinks of the two universities.
