Violent conflict emerged between the Orientalists and the Anglicizes concerning the subjects of education policy, the instruction medium, the agencies for the organization of educational institutes and the methods to be followed for spreading knowledge amongst the people. Conflicts and learning schools were often found amongst the Company's European officials. The Indians were almost non-existent at that  time.

Explanation:

  • Section 43 of the 1813 Charter Act, which was also blamed for aggravating confusion, was the strongest reason for the Oriental faction. As mentioned earlier, this segment deals with "the restoration and enhancement of literacy and the encouragement of learned indigenous communities of India and the adoption and promotion of knowledge of sciences among people in the British territories in India" as a total of no less than one lakh of rupees shall be expended every year. The Oriental group claimed that Hindus and Muslims' literature was meant to be revived and encouraged.
  • The sponsorship of learned people implied that scholars who studied in Oriental schools in the form of stipend would be sponsored, and publishing classical works for their utilisation. On the adoption and advancement of technology, they claimed that Western knowledge and sciences should be learnt from them through classical languages (or contemporary Indian languages) and that the history of their land for which they had much respect and reverence should also be taught. Hence, theysuggested that the action of translating useful books from English into Sanskrit and Arabic was perfectly justified.
  • The Oriental Group did not want be abolished the current successful oriental learning instructions. Prinsep was particularly interested in Calcutta Madrasah, leader of the Oriental community. The Orientalists also accepted that classical or English schooling should be offered to students as an option  for them to choose from. The Oriental  group thus argued that its acts remained entirely under the Charter Act of 1813 and did not alter its policy until the Act itself had been amended by the Parliament.
  • The Oriental Party's other claims were less relevant and not very good. It was suggested, for example, that the citizens of India would not be able to learn English as a foreign language, and that the rulers would be cruel by forcing their English language on them and so on. The government refuted such claims as the Indians gradually showed their capacity to talk the English language. The importance of English education and its implementation in India is advocated by Indians like Raja Ram Mohan Roy.
  • The Oriental schooling program was detrimental and slow  according to Anglicizes. They could not compromise the notion that modern Western schooling would be integrated in the old stock of Eastern instruction. They addressed the concept of diffusion through English between the Indians of West sciences and literature. They decided to use the entire educational award to promote western schooling, because they were strong in their belief. The General Committee of Public Education referred the dispute between these two think tanks to the Government
