I am St. Xavier's College, Mumbai.
and I bear testimony to a great historical adventure.
Built into my masonry are mingled emotions of the German Jesuits who came to India on their reise, or journey , more than 150 years ago.
Through my corridors have passed a remarkable group of people who, of course, didn't know at the time that they were so remarkable.
They formed the vanguard of an educated army of thousands launched upon the world over the years.
What stories I could tell - of their whispered conversations, their dreams and aspirations.
One thing I will talk about is the day girls were admitted to the college for the first time.
