CHAPTER З

THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN IDENTIFIABLE ANGLO-INDIAN
COMMUNITY AND ITS
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM 1786-1900

1. Introduction

The purpose of this chapter is to discuss that:

- the missionaries' evangelical policies for
independent schools and colleges in relation to
the Anglo-Indian community;

- the growing importance and significance of the
English language in British India and,

- the broader historical events within India during
the nineteenth century that impacted upon the
Anglo-Indian community and its educational
institutions .

These issues shaped the destiny and future of the Anglo-
Indian community. The education provided for the Anglo-
Indian community continued the processes that were
discussed in the previous chapter.

This chapter argues that throughout the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries, the educational system created a
facade of privilege for the Anglo-Indian community. The
colonialists sought stability through a subservient, loyal
Anglo-Indian community.

The structure of the chapter is therefore as follows:
