Answers
Explanation:
Education in India in the Colonial era
In India during the British period there were mainly two schools of thoughts. One is the orientalist who believed that education in India should take place in any of the different Indian languages at that point in time. These languages used to be Sanskrit, Persian and different other court languages of India. However there existed parallel yet another school of thought that believed that India has nothing to teach its population and therefore the best medium of instruction is the English.
Objectives of education by the British in India
There were mainly two objectives of education by the British in India during the colonial rule. They were firstly the British realized that they require a group of people who can act as the mediator between them and the locals. It was hard for the British to understand local culture at that point in time. So the British thought of creating an anglicised community commonly known as Babus who can understand the locals well as well as understand the English language. Through these babus the British used to establish communication with the local people and endeavoured so that these locals could comprehend the British policies of Governance.
Modern education by the British
With the British came the modern education. In fact even in the British period there existed a lot of diversity. However the education system at that time was so designed such that there existed unity in diversity. Moreover before the colonial rule the Brahmin community was very significant in imparting education. But with the inception of colonialism there has been a westernisation of education and people across different classes and sections of society, be it rich or the poor, elite or the not so elite, all began opting to study in English. Thus in short the Brahmin started to lose significance as teachers and academicians from then.
