==History==
The need for a research institute devoted to area studies, especially to the study of secular Islam in Asian countries was felt in the late 1980s, with few such institutes and universities existing in India at that time. The Governor of West Bengal, Prof. Nurul Hasan, took the main initiative in founding such an institute in Calcutta. He was the founder of the institute. It took a few years before such a plan could be fully implemented, and the foundation stone of the Institute was laid on a newly acquired plot close to the Salt Lake stadium in Calcutta in 1993 by the then President of India, Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, in the presence of the then Human Resource Development Minister Shri Arjun Singh, Prof. Nurul Hasan, the then Chief Minister of West Bengal, Shri Jyoti Basu, the Deputy Chairperson of the Rajya Sabha, Dr. Najma Heptullah, and the then Minister for Higher Education of the Government of West Bengal, Shri Satyasadhan Chakraborty. Prof. Barun De, formerly Founder-Director, Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta, was given the responsibility of organising the event.
Prof. Nurul Hasan, was the Founder-President of the institute's Society and the Executive Council. Professor Satish Chandra, formerly Chairman, University Grants Commission, Delhi, was appointed as the Founder-Vice Chairman of the Executive Council and Prof. Barun De was appointed as the Founder-Director of the institute.
At this time the former residence of Maulana Azad at 19, Ballygunge Circular Road, presently 5, Ashraf Mistry Lane (better known locally as Lovelock Lane of Ballygunge Circular Road), was handed over by the Government of West Bengal to the Institute. It was meant house a museum. Soon the Institute shifted to 567, Diamond Harbour Road, Calcutta, where it temporarily occupied two large floors of a rented house. Later, at the turn of the present century, it was shifted to Maulana Azad's house, where both the Institute and its museum were located until 2010. A new building, named 'Azad Bhavan〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://archivepmo.nic.in/drmanmohansingh/speech-details.php?nodeid=851 )〕', has been subsequently built on the one acre plot given to it in Salt Lake, where the Institute has now been shifted. The museum will remain in Maulana Azad's house, now renamed Azad Museum.
