Description: This volume investigates the nineteenth century controversy over Britain's public education provision in their growing Indian Empire. The documents, (some published for the first time) aim to recover the major British and South Asian voices, to broaden our understanding of imperial discourses and recognise the significant role of the colonised in the shaping of colonial knowledge.
