Answers
Answer:
British considered the task of civilising India as their moral responsibility, and therefore believed that modern western education would make people rational and scientific. The anglicist led by macaulay believed that the knowledge of the east was full of errors and unscientific thoughts.
Answer:
The English Education Act 1835 was a legislative Act of the vcc and cc Council of India, gave effect to a decision in 1835 by Lord William Bentinck, then Governor-General of British India, to reallocate funds the East India Company was required by the British Parliament to spend on education and literature in India. They had not supported tradition of Hindu education and the publication of literature in the native learned tongues (Sanskrit and Persian); henceforward they were to support establishments teaching a Western curriculum with English as the language of instruction. Together with other measures promoting English as the language of administration and of the higher law courts (replacing Persian), this led eventually to English becoming one of the languages of India, rather than simply the native tongue of its foreign rulers.
