Anjuman-e-Punjab was established in 1865 for the revival of oriental languages under the governance of British Indian Government. University College, Lahore and Oriental college came into being in 1869 and 1870 due to efforts of Anjuman. University college got charter of Punjab University in 1882. Punjab university made the English, the medium of instruction according to Lord Macaulay's educational system and Oriental College which was there for the development of oriental languages. Anjuman arranged a subjective meeting of poets according to curriculum needs and published a newspaper to spread their activities. After Urdu-Hindi controversy (1867) Hunter education commission (1882),Ripon local government Reforms (1882) Aitchison Public Service commission (1886) and the Punjab Alienation of land act 1900 increased communal conflict. Because of which Urdu-Hindi and Punjabi Languages controversy issue turned to communalism. Anjuman-e-Punjab supported all of three languages even in this critical situation. Afterwards Arya-Samajis, Muslim and Sikhs established in name of DAV, Islamia and Khalsa school and colleges. Due to these educational institutions competitive higher studies trend was developed but religious bias was gradually increased. But Today Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi, Persian and Arabic have been reading and writing in Indian and Pakistani Punjab just due to Struggle of Anjuman-e-Punjab.
