فورٹ ولیم کالج کی پہلی مطبوعہ کتاب

Abstract

Fort William College was established at Calcutta, the capital of the British East India Company occupied territory, in 1800 AD for the purpose to taught local languages, history, etc. to new comer European officers in India. Dr. John Gilchrist was appointed the professor of Hindustani or Urdu language. In his patronage many prominent Urdu writers wrote a large number of Urdu Prose (and some poetic) books which have a great historical and literary importance. Some of those books were made published by the College. Aside a number of research books and various writings on Fort William College, there is less, rather nothing any information and research study about the first publication of Fort William College belongs to Hindoostanee or Urdu. This article gives some research study on this particular topic.
