S2E33: The Father of Western Education in India - a podcast by Ep.Log Media

Raja Rammohan Ray, who is often called the first modern Indian, wrote a letter in 1823 to Governor-General Lord Amherst. In the letter, he protested against the government's decision to assign special funds to promote Sanskrit learning.

In this episode of HistoryChatter, we revisit that special document and recall the reasons Rammohan Ray had cited against the promotion of classical language education in India.
Looking back, it marked a highly significant moment in the history of education in India.
