1. Sir William Jones (1746–1794) was an English philologist, Orientalist, and jurist. While serving as a judge of the high court at Calcutta, he became a student of ancient India and founded the Asiatic Society of Bengal. He is best known for his famous proposition that many languages sprang from a common source.
2.The Orientalist wanted the promotion of traditional Indian learning and a bit of Western Science,using the vernacular languages. The Anglicists wanted the promotion of Western learning, using English as the medium of instruction. Thus,the debate was ultimately resolved in favour of the Anglicists.
