Development of Modern Education

Warren Hastings

•  Established ‘Calcutta Madrasa’ in 1781 for the study and learning of Persian and Arabic.
• - The motive was to develop friendly relations with the elites of the indigenous society and to understand their culture.

William Jones

•  Established the Asiatic Society of Bengal in 1784 to encourage Oriental studies. For roughly fifty years, it served as a significant academic hub and a unique institution that translated significant Sanskrit works.
• Importance: Asiatic Researches. 
• Warren Hastings believed that Hindus had laws that had not changed for thousands of years.
• Therefore, if the British wanted to establish their rule in the nation, they had to learn these laws and the Sanskrit language in which they were written. 

Jonathan Duncan

• In 1791, 'Sanskrit College' was founded by him in Benaras. The motive was to promote the study of Hindu laws and philosophy.

• These early attempts at education in the Oriental languages met with little success. It was found that there were more teachers than students.
