Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Journal of the Royal Colonial Institute, Vol. 39: Session 1907-1908
Ultimately, I suppose, the so-called unrest in India is chiefly traceable to our education system there. Since 1858, and even before, we have throughout our Indian Empire pursued the same policy - as funds have become available we have attempted to introduce national education on a voluntary basis in the towns and villages of every district, and in giving instruction we have wel corned all comers, irrespective of creed, race, or caste, and as time has gone on we have established middle and high schools, and later given each province a university. Aided by missionary bodies and municipalities, we have also encouraged the learning of English.
In the Punjab - the one province of which I have long personal experience - the seeds Of trouble were sown soon after the Mutiny.
