1883 Report of Education System in India

Image
I happened to find, with my usual curiosity, about India's ancient documents, in a computer server somewhere in an Australian educational institution! Precisely from "La Trobe Collection, State Library of Victoria" Title: "William Hunter , ( 1883 ), Report of the Indian Education Commission , Calcutta , Superintendent of Government Printing, India" If you are curious too, read it here :) This link is pointed at Page 8. Some excerpts: ['Meanwhile, a new influence in favour of popular education was being brought to bear upon the Indian Government by missionary and philanthropic bodies both in this country and in Europe. The old system, however, did not give place to the new without a struggle . For many years the medium and the character of the instruction to be given in Government Schools and Colleges were the subject of a vigorous controversy between the Anglicists and the Orientalists.

Something that I hated...

My client is an American. He appears to have taken for granted, having worked with many Indian companies, that we just don't convince him on our understanding of software project management process. It's not just about some companies, but yesterday I started to believe he just doesn't like anything Indian. On every minute bit of the project process flow document, he has questions.

Congressmen completely sided the muslims on this issue. Sethusamudram project is again related to Lord Raama or Ramaayan (story of Lord Raama.) Congress leaders again support anyone who works against Hindus. This time its DMK party in Tamilnadu. Congress is ready to let the DMK cut open the land strip constructed during Ramaayan time (mind you this is the belief of Hindus and soon would have unquestionable archeological evidences) to make way for ships to enter shorter sea route without having to go around Sri Lanka. The logic in both the above cases is same. Anything Hindu must be opposed. -------------------------------- You gotto observe Congressmen on the media when they are in debate or discussion. They always get complete time to express their views. The channel helps them do that. But if a BJP person should take his/h...
