About the Book

The Punjabi who founded The Tribune, the Indian who saw tomorrow

Dyal Singh Majitha was more than just the founder of The Tribune, the man who left his fortune to the Dyal Singh College in Lahore – its successor institution is in the heart of Lutyens’ Delhi. He was also a leading businessman and philanthropist of late 19th century India one of the founding fathers of Indian nationhood. He was the only Punjabi in thegroup of 17’ that met in Chennai and agreed to set up the Indian National Congress, a rare north Indian luminary in the predominantly Bengali Brahmo Samaj, the child of a Sikh warrior clan that had fought alongside Ranjit Singh, who travelled to Europe and sought to replicate the best of the Enlightenment in his beloved Punjab and his treasured India.
A strange, singular character, Dyal Singh was a philosopher and spiritualist who no one faith could claim nor consume. He anticipated the future, putting in the capital to help set up the first bank entirely run and owned by Indians, the Punjab National Bank, so that Indian industrialists could get easy access to capital to take on Britons. As a constitutionalist and a liberal, he realized the value of the free press and set up what became northern India’s leading nationalist newspaper in the English language. Yet he had good friends among the British and admired their educational system, insisting that the University of Punjab be not an Oriental seminary but modelled on the University of London.
Today, the institutions he put in shape continue to influence two nations. Not surprisingly, he is the only public figure who has had biographies published by the governments of both India and Pakistan. Even the Wagah border, so close to his native village of Majitha, cannot divide his legacy.
