Answer 2

Answer:

The first madrasa was set up in Calcutta in 1781.

Explanation:

Jones and Colebrooke went about discovering

ancient texts, understanding their meaning, translating

them, and making their findings known to others. This

project, they believed, would not only help the British learn

from Indian culture, but it would also help Indians

rediscover their own heritage, and understand the lost

glories of their past. In this process the British would become

the guardians of Indian culture as well as its masters.

Influenced by such ideas, many Company officials

argued that the British ought to promote Indian rather

than Western learning. They felt that institutions should

be set up to encourage the study of ancient Indian texts

and teach Sanskrit and Persian literature and poetry.

The officials also thought that Hindus and Muslims

ought to be taught what they were already familiar with,

and what they valued and treasured, not subjects that

were alien to them. Only then, they believed, could the

British hope to win a place in the hearts of the “natives”;

only then could the alien rulers expect to be respected by

their subjects.

With this object in view a madrasa was set up in

Calcutta in 1781 to promote the study of Arabic, Persian

and Islamic law; and the Hindu College was established

in Benaras in 1791 to encourage the study of ancient

Sanskrit texts that would be useful for the administration

of the country.
