Orientalists wanted Indian scholars to teach the “vernacular” languages, about local customs and laws, translate and interpret ancient texts.
Whereas the Anglicists like James Mill attacked the Orientalists. They believed that the British effort should not be to teach what the natives wanted, or what they respected, in order to please them and “win a place in their heart”. The aim of education ought to be to teach what was useful and practical. So Indians should be made familiar with the scientific and technical advances that the West had made, rather than with the poetry and sacred literature of the Orien

Orientalists were group of those people who were in support of giving education to the Indian people in the Indian language.
On the contrary, Anglicists were those who were in support of the English language and wanted people to be taught modern western education. They believed that the British effort should not be to teach what the natives wanted, or what they respected.
