Charles Edward Trevelyan (1807 1886) published Education of the
People of India in 1838. The work is a rigorous defence of the
educational reforms that took place in colonial India during the
1830s, which led to a western-based curriculum replacing
traditional Indian learning. The work is a response to the
arguments of orientalists such as H. H. Wilson (1786 1860),
recently retired from government office in India, but still
advocating an orientalist educational policy. In this work
Trevelyan puts forward his arguments for the moral and intellectual
advantages of English as the principle language of instruction and
defends the government's resolution of March 1835 that specified
that Indians should be educated by the study of European
literature, culture and science. It was one of the most influential
Anglicist tracts of the Indian educational debates, and it gives
valuable insight into the ideas behind what became standard
government educational policy.
