This book identifies and describes the first stage in the advent
and growth of English education in India. The first schools in
India were the charity schools, asylums and orphanages opened under
the auspices of the Church of England for religious instruction,
training and care of 'half-caste' or mixed-race children, the
progeny of Protestant fathers from Indian women. It examines the
influence of the 'half-caste' community and the missionaries on the
growing Indian demand for English education and opportunities for
employment. The well-entrenched scenarios on the pre-history of
Hindoo College Calcutta are re-examined in the light of new
evidence discussed here for the first time. The book further
analyses the shifts in the educational policies by the British
colonial administrators and the interventions by the likes of
Trevelyan, Macaulay and Bentinck. Detailed and insightful, this
volume will be of great interest to students and researchers of
history, literature, postcolonial studies, cultural studies,
colonial expansion, and South Asian studies.
