In earlier chapters, we saw how British rule affected different groups in India, like rajas and peasants. Now, let's talk about students. The British wanted to control India and also change how people lived and thought.
They had to decide how to educate Indian students to be "good subjects." This was a difficult challenge that led to a lot of talks. In this chapter, we will look at how education changed and what it meant for students in India.
