Abstract
A strong and extensively developed system of education existed in Punjab before the onset of colonialism in India. Delhi was one of the districts of Punjab Province under the British rule. With the change of power, there came change in all aspects of administration and the system of education was no exception. The focus here is on the changes that were brought about in educational policies and their manifestations within the institutional domains after the Revolt of 1857 until the 1880s. This was also the time when nationalist sentiments were on the rise and organisations like Arya Samaj and Sanatan Dharma played a very important role in spreading education in Delhi.
期刊介绍：
History and Sociology of South Asia provides a forum for scholarly interrogations of significant moments in the transformation of the social, economic and political fabric of South Asian societies. Thus the journal advisedly presents an interdisciplinary space in which contemporary ideas compete, and critiques of existing perspectives are encouraged. The interdisciplinary focus of the journal enables it to incorporate diverse areas of research, including political economy, social ecology, and issues of minority rights, gender, and the role of law in development. History and Sociology of South Asia also promotes dialogue on socio-political problems, from which academicians as well as activists and advocacy groups can benefit.
