An early important agency for the communication of literal and specialized education was the family. There were also references to teachers of noble character, gurus, who imparted knowledge in their ashrams. Later, the presence of organized institutions could be gleaned from temple colleges and\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003emathas\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eof acharyas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e            At the beginning of the nineteenth century, indigenous systems of education were in a reasonably good state. British educational surveys, beginning with that of the Madras Presidency under the direction of Governor Thomas Munro, confirmed that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e            The colonial state made systematic attempts to undermine the self-sufficient indigenous education systems. Interestingly, a blueprint for the Christianization and Anglicization of India was presented as early as 1792 by the Evangelical, Charles Grant. Thomas B. Macaulay implemented the scheme some four decades later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e            While most Company officials in India emphasized the need to retain indigenous vernacular systems, a small group in London and Calcutta pressed for English education. Complicating matters was the growing presence of missionaries, and their determination to proselytize. The Indian resistance to the blandishments of the Company and missionaries was the true story of education in colonial times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e            Alongside was the battle against Persian and Urdu by proponents of Hindi, who regarded it as the bearer of indigenous cultural heritage. They viewed the promotion of Persian and Urdu as “the total displacement of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003enational and traditional for one which is strange, foreign, and uncongenial\u003c\/em\u003e.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aryan Books International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49535141151024,"sku":"AryanBooksInernationalDrg_9788173057205","price":745.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/aryan-books-international-book-default-title-the-british-makeover-of-india-indigenous-education-and-languages-downgraded-releasing-on-10th-february-2025-40172771311920.jpg?v=1775957498","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/the-british-makeover-of-india-indigenous-education-and-languages-downgraded-releasing-on-10th-february-2025","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
