What were the arguments presented by proponents of Oriental education in India?
Proponents of Oriental education, such as William Jones and Henry Thomas Colebrooke, held a deep respect for ancient Indian culture. They believed that Indian civilisation had attained its glory in the past, and hence, the study of ancient texts was crucial for future development in the country. The Orientalists also aimed to promote Indian rather than Western learning and they felt that institutions should be set up to encourage the study of ancient Indian texts, Sanskrit, and Persian literature. They believed that educating Indians in their familiar subjects would help the British win respect and a place in the hearts of the "natives".
How did the British authorities attempt to regulate vernacular education post-1854?
