The English Education Act of 1835 allocated funds for education and literature in India. It was passed under Lord William Bentinck.
The decision to allocate funds had sparked a major debate in colonial circles which we now know as the Anglicist-Orientalist Controversy - over whether Indians should be educated in their vernaculars, or should an English education be promoted.
