The rejection of instruction in a modern Indian language in
1854 reinforced the reliance the Anglo-Indians placed on
learning English exclusively. Therefore, an important
value was subtracted from Anglo-Indian education. This
value alienated the Anglo-Indian community from the
Indians. Thus, the Wood's Despatch had very great adverse
implications for the community.

3.1. The British Government's Educational Policies during
the latter half of the Nineteenth Century

Despite what seemed to be improvements in Anglo-Indian
education, the Anglo-Indians were being socially and
educationally isolated in India. Lord Lytton in 1880
recorded a Minute which

. . . deplored the condition of the community
and warned against trying to avert this great
political and social danger,

and stressed that measures for the

... education of destitute European and
Eurasian children should be made, with
particular reference to the means of existence
available for such children in after life.

The Hunter Commission (1882) was set up to look into this
and recommended that Anglo-Indian schools be absorbed into
the Code for European Education. This meant that:

(1) The Academic stream would be separated from the
vocational and technical stream.

(2) Direct Departmental contact would not be withdrawn
from missionary schools. (28)
