Timeline

1818

In 1818, the fall of Maratha Empire led to large parts of India coming under direct British rule.

1820

During the decade of 1820-30, following instructions from authorities in London, various provincial governments in India carried out detailed surveys of the indigenous education system prevalent in their provinces.

1821

G.L. Prendergast, a member of the Governor’s Council in Bombay Presidency, recorded the following about indigenous schools on 27 June 1821:

"'I need hardly mention what every member of the Board knows as well as I do, that there is hardly a village, great or small, throughout our territories, in which there is not at least one school, and in larger villages more; many in every town, and in large cities in every division; where young natives are taught reading, writing and arithmetic, upon a system so economical, from a handful or two of grain, to perhaps a Rupee per month to the schoolmaster, according to the ability of the parents, and at the same time so simple and effectual, that there is hardly a cultivator or petty dealer who is not competent to keep his own accounts with a degree of accuracy, in my opinion, beyond what we meet with amongst the lower orders in our own country.'"

These survey data also reveals the wide social strata to which both the students and the teachers in these schools belonged.

Survey records teachers were represented by all caste groups, including a minority of teachers from now former untouchable castes.

The more interesting and historically more relevant information provided by the caste-wise survey of this data is that of the students, the majority of whom belonged to the Shudra caste.

This is true not only as regards boys but also concerning the rather small number of girls who, according to the survey, were receiving education in schools.
