Description
This seminal work by Arthur Mayhew provides an in-depth examination of British educational policy implemented in India during the pivotal period of 1835-1920. The study traces the historical development and ideological foundations of colonial education systems while critically analyzing their effects on Indian culture, society, and national consciousness.
Mayhew explores how Western educational models were introduced, adapted, and resisted within the Indian context. The book evaluates the sociological and political consequences of these policies on Indian intellectual development, social structures, and the emergence of nationalist movements. By connecting historical educational practices to contemporary problems of his era, Mayhew offers valuable insights into the long-term impacts of colonial policies on India’s national identity and development trajectories.
This scholarly work remains essential for understanding the complex relationship between education, colonialism, and nation-building in modern India.
