Dhawan : we have dived the antecedent into 3 phases, from 70-77- when the earlier idea of setting of Muslim university for the Muslim community for the betterment and advancement took place, MAO college was established; from 77 to 1910 the Muslim community rallied to convert the MAO and govt. agreed to convert the college and from 1910 - 1920 where the founders of the Muslim university actively engaged and succeeded in their desire to convert and incorporate the MAO

Dhawan takes the bench through the historical antecedents of the AMU across the three phases.
