CHAPTER 4

ANGLO-INDIAN EDUCATION IN THE
TWENTIETH CENTURY

1. Introduction

The purpose of this chapter is two-fold. First, it
describes the dynamics of Anglo-Indian educational
development from 1900-1990, and second, it discusses those
educational politics and policies that helped shape that
educational development.

The argument is that the curriculum offered to Anglo-
Indians at the turn of the century and continuing until
1947 was irrelevant to a proper understanding of India.
After 1947, the increased presence of other groups of
wealthy Indians in Anglo-Indian schools dictated curriculum
outcomes for the Anglo-Indian community which further
disadvantaged them in their own schools. The Anglo-Indians'
apathy and rejection of the school were in sharp contrast
to the Indian's effective commitment to an Anglo-Indian
school's curriculum.

The structure of the chapter is:

(i)       British government educational policies  and

reports 1900-1947

(ii)      Indian government policies and reports 1947-1990

(iii)     Anglo-Indian leadership and education

(iv)      Conclusions.
