A century before the term Gen Z was created (and long before the Delhi Police began directing protests to Jantar Mantar for better crowd control and traffic management in the 1990s), the British imperial government in Delhi had been terrified of student dissent in the center of the capital city. Their initial plan was to have a 'Great College Street' at the core of the city, with St. Stephen's College, and other institutions to come later, all in Lutyens' Delhi. They were all moved to the 'University Enclave' in North Delhi, a much safer distance from the imperial hub. It was a clear political decision driven by fear of student and youth power. The intersection of today's Kasturba Gandhi Marg (formerly "Great College Street") and Feroze Shah Road was originally intended to be called University Square. The British Raj’s fear of having a hotbed of political dissent and intellectual rebellion so close to the seat of their power on Raisina Hill was driven by their knowledge of the students of St. Stephen’s being actively involved in agitations and movements led by Mahatma Gandhi, who spent some time living in the college campus; and the British feared the potent mix of academic ferment and revolutionary fervour in the heart of their new capital. 'After changes upon changes, we are more or less the same,' sang Simon and Garfunkel in 1969. Why Didn't the British Allow St Stephen's College to Be a Part of Lutyens' Delhi?
