 - How did a German Jew  Gerda Philipsborn  come to Delhi, India to help establish one of the top university of India ‘Jamia’. It was a place so distant and disconnected from her homeland. Philipsborn's journey from being a German   -  a European women in colonial India - to becoming Jamia's  Aapa Jaan  (which she was fondly called at the university) began in 1933 when she traveled to India. At the university Philipsborn encouraged Jamia's girls and women to play a more active role in society. When she joined the editorial team of Payam-e Ta'lim, Jamia's children's journal, she contributed articles that spotlighted the hobbies and interests of women and encouraged girls to write for the journal.  Apart from her work with the children of Jamia, Gerda also helped its founders raise funds for the university.

When I heard his reply, I was not sure whether I should believe him or not.  A thought passed through my mind : " Why a country, which is so advanced in economy, sciences & technology, is so disrespectful towards teachers and their work? " Once, after work, Yamamota invited me to his house .We took the metro since it was far away. It was the evening peak hour, and the wagons in the metro train were overcrowded . I managed to find space to stand, holding tightly to the overhead rail. Suddenly, an elderly man who was seated beside me offered me his seat.
