The British also came with the belief that they had a duty to civilize the natives. The White man's burden was an important reason for colonizing India.

The Indian Education journey started with William Jones a judge at the Supreme court of Calcutta. Jones was a linguist who knew Greek, Latin, Arabic and spent hours on studying Sanskrit and other intricacies of the language. He also started exploring other articles on Ancient Indian laws, culture, practices, traditions and philosophy. With like minded Englishmen he started the Asiatic society of Bengal. They group of people who respected both the traditions of east and the West were called Orientalists.

On February 2, 1835, British politician Thomas Babington Macaulay circulated Minute on Education, a treatise that offered definitive reasons for why the East India Company and the British government should spend money on the provision of English language education, as well as the promotion of European learning, especially the sciences, in India.

While The Minute acknowledged the historic role of Sanskrit and Arabic literature in the Subcontinent, it also contended that they had limitations. “A single shelf of a good European library was worth the whole native literature of India and Arabia,” Macaulay wrote in the Minute.
