Abstract
Colonialism resorts to use and devise all sorts of power to ascertain its
control over colonies. There are two major kinds of power that are
employed: hard and soft. Education falls under second category. In getting
control over minds of native people, it has proved to be a more effective one
than hard or brutal kind of power. The English colonizers started
'educational reforms' in late 18th century. Till mid 19th century they had
established new educational institutions where medium of instruction was
English, with new syllabi that aimed to cater their 'colonial needs'. Though
after 1857 vernacular education was introduced at lower level, English had
been kept as medium of instruction at higher level. Both kinds of education
served the same purpose: to reform Indian society in line with colonial
needs. This article seeks to survey briefly history of colonial education
policies with analyzing the colonial aspirations of colonizers.
