History of Ghaziuddin Khan's Madarsa and Tomb is quite interesting. Built during the reign of Aurangzeb, it was one of the few earliest attempts for the emancipation of Islam community in medieval India.
Ghaziuddin Khan was a title that was conferred upon Mir Shahabuddin, a courtier in Aurangzeb’s court. He was the first person who had set up this madrasa for educating the Islam community. In 1894, English education was introduced in the madrasa and it came to be known as Anglo Arabic School which later on became the Anglo Arabic College.
The word madrasa meant study and later on the extended version of the word came to be known as place of study. Located near the Ajmeri Gate this place stands as a witness to the emancipation and enlightenment of Mughal India.
The beautiful architecture of the Madrasa reflects the features of Islamic architecture. There are arcaded apartments, arched gateways and domed structures. On the northern and southern sides there are enclosures which contain the tombs. Ghaziuddin’s tomb is located in this area.
