England’s Educational Policy in India

England’s Educational Policy in India by V. V. Oak (1893–1962) critically examines British educational strategies during colonial rule. Oak argues that the policies were designed not to empower Indians, but to create a class of intermediaries loyal to the British administration. He highlights the limitations imposed on indigenous education and the neglect of mass literacy. Through detailed analysis, Oak exposes the political motives behind colonial education and its long-term impact on India’s intellectual and social development, offering a nationalist perspective on colonial history.
