Description
This scholarly work provides an in-depth examination of British educational policy in India spanning nearly a century, from 1835 to 1920. Arthur Mayhew traces the development and implementation of colonial education systems and their profound effects on Indian society, culture, and national consciousness.
The study analyzes how British educational initiatives shaped Indian intellectual life and the emergence of nationalist movements. Mayhew explores the tension between Western education and traditional Indian learning systems, examining both the intended and unintended consequences of colonial educational reforms.
The book connects historical educational policies to contemporary problems in India, demonstrating the lasting legacy of colonial administration. It remains essential reading for understanding how education functioned as a tool of colonial control while simultaneously creating the intellectual foundations for Indian independence and modern nation-building.
