Education For Commerce Video Lecture | History for Class 8

Chapter eight symbolizing the native and
educating the nation in this chapter
we'll be discussing as we all know that
the Britishers actually want to conquer
the Indian territories they came
initially to do trade later their
interest changed to conquer the lands to
generate more revenues they want to
control the revenue of the country they
want to expand their business they want
to earn huge profits along with this on
the other hand they started to believe
that they have to take the
responsibility to civilize the natives
they are felt that the Indians are not
civilized they need to be civilized they
need to be trained properly according to
the ideas of the West so what happened
with the introduction of the English
education to the Indians how did the
Indians react to this this is the base
point of this lesson in this lesson
we'll be dealing explicitly about what
was India's traditional educational
structure how the Indian education
system was there before the introduction
of the English what are the factors are
the conditions that favor for the
establishment of English education in
our country
how did rather than Otago and Matt
McGann D react for the introduction of
English education in our country we will
now see how the British used to view the
Indian education it was a person in 1783
named William Jones who arrived to
Calcutta joined as a junior judge in the
court which was started by the
Britishers he was a jurist along with
the being a jurist
he was also a linguist who was found of
different languages he learned from
Oxford Greek lad he also knew French
English Arabic from his friends and
Persia after coming to India he started
to learn Sanskrit and grammar as well as
poetry so with this we can understand
that he is a good learner he observes
many things he knew the language like
Greek Latin French English Arabic
Persian Sanskrit grammar and poet with
the favoritism towards Sanskrit as he is
understanding the language of Sanskrit
he started to learn what are the text
subjects that are taught to the Indians
in the Indian hold colleges or schools
who would rather say they are the
educational institutions but not schools
our colleges we have world set of parts
Allah's guru colas which were existing
in the ancient days so he started to
study about the subjects like law
philosophy religion politics morality
arithmetic medicine so after looking at
all these subjects and studying them in
detail he started to understand that the
Indian culture has attained its glory
during the past but not now so in order
to capture the Indians hearts in order
to know about India much in order to
enhance the Indians dignity at the same
time in order to understand India much
clearer we need to know about the past
so with this idea he made some of his
friends who had a similar view to join
with him like Henry Thomas and Koli
Brooke Nathaniel Holland so these three
formed as a group with our William Jones
and formed the Asiatic Society Asiatic
Society also started to publish journals
his Shattuck journals so this group of
people who formed and started to show
interest towards the Indian art Indian
literature Indian athletics he
religions Indian customs Indian
traditions were branded as Orientalists
those who study about the Haitian
culture Asian languages Asian
literature's these people are called
orient lists by the Western communities
so like this William Jones established
the first Asiatic Society in our country
in Calcutta along with this after having
acquired knowledge about the subjects
which are thought in our country during
the olden days during the ancient time
he told that glory of the Indian culture
is in the past not now so for the
Britishers have to become the guardians
once they know what is the glory of
Indians then they will become the
guardians once they become the guardians
after understanding what are Indians
or what is their glory then we can
master our the Indians as we know what
they are it's very easy first to tackle
them at the same time they can also win
the hearts of the natives when you win
the hearts of the natives automatically
you can command over them so for this
they also propose to set up of
institutions to spread the old ancient
literature in various colleges here a
madrasah was set up with this initiative
in 1781 and a Hindu College madrasah was
set up at Calcutta in 1781 ten years
later a Hindu College was set up at
benares in 1791 so from this we can
understand here very clearly Indians are
not uneducated as the British installed
Indians are not uncivilized as a vicious
thought Indians are highly civilized
highly tolerant at the same time Indians
also studied the subjects which are
taught in the Western universities
that's what he understood William Jones
after learning about the subjects with
up thought here
the subjects which are discussed by
Aristotle the subjects which are
discussed by Plato the subjects which
are discussed by the eminent people of
the West were also discussed equally by
the people in India like law and
philosophy religion morality politics at
the Matic medicine all these make him to
come to an opinion that there was glory
in the past of the Indian culture which
means that now there is no glory after
we are ever of the petitions something
happened to that we need to reveal the
glory of the Indians then automatically
the Britishers will become the guardians
of that which will make the Indians to
support the British as later munitions
can become the Masters so what happened
to this did the Britishers continue
establishing colleges for the spreading
of oriental literature or not
how did the other Britishers react what
happened next
