Abstract

Félix Boutrox came to India in the early nineteenth century. An attempt has been made in this study to collect the scattered information about his life and to discuss his role in the development of the Delhi College and its curricula. His contribution towards removing the deficiencies of the Urdu language as a vehicle of transmitting western learning in it is also highlighted. Urdu until then was commonly considered as a language of poetry or hyperbolic prose styles.
