ABSTRACT

The Congress awoke at last to the extreme importance of the problem when the meddling hand of Lord Curzon showed them that the future of their country was being trilled with by an Anglo-Indian Committee. The cleavage of opinion on the matter became vital when from the domain of congressional discussion an attempt was made to translate it into the field of action. This chapter addresses one important objection that is commonly raised against the evolution of an Indian common language. The education of women, such as is given in India today, inclines to the second alternative of ignoring the existence of sexual differences. Indian education is now wholly under the control of the State. The State manages and moulds educational policy and ideal as thoroughly and as effectively as ever the Brahmans, the Jesuits did.
