Question

write a brief note on traditional education in 19th century India

Answer 1

British during its ninety-year of direct rule in India had brought some visible pro-India changes only in sphere of education as economic exploitation of India by the Raj is a well-established history. Technology-borne development was in its infancy barring some progress in transport and communication system in British India.
Education played a key role in materialising India’s independence in 1947. The education system in the second half of 19th century spread western education  more in English than in vernacular languages.  However, it proved as a blessing in disguise as English-educated Indians became acquainted with western liberal thoughts, democracy, equality and justice. Education during the Raj helped in spreading national consciousness that gave birth to ‘one India’; latter, freedom from the colonial rule. In fact, the architects of India’s freedom including Jawaharlal Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi were products of western education. Education helped integrate the diverse elements Indian society, thereby creating a new common bond from among conflicting loyalties.
Introduction of English as common language, education through vernacular languages, above all, promotion of western education to produce intermediaries between the British and British India were a few among many measures that British too realise its goal of smooth administration in India.
Neither economic nor technological changes were effective in setting the pace of socio-political changes in 19th-century India; it was rather educational changes that ruled the roost.

Hello Buddy!!

Answer : The history of education began with teaching of traditional elements such as Indian religions, Indian mathematics, Indian logic at early Hindu and Buddhist centres of learning such as ancient Takshashila (in modern-day Pakistan) and Nalanda (in India) before the common era. Islamic Education became ingrained with the establishment of the Islamic empires in the Indian subcontinent in the Middle Ages while the coming of the Europeans later brought western education to colonial India. A series of measures continuing throughout the early half of the 20th century ultimately laid the foundation of education in the Republic of India, education in Pakistan and much of South Asia.
