William Jones helped establish the Asiatic Society of Bengal in 1784 to promote the study of Indian culture and languages. He and other early British scholars, known as Orientalists, worked to translate ancient Indian texts to understand philosophy, law, and culture. However, over time British officials like Macaulay criticized Orientalism as unscientific. They argued for replacing traditional Indian education with one focused on English and Western ideas to civilize Indians. This led to policies prioritizing English education and marginalizing Indian languages and knowledge systems.
Birsa Munda led a movement against the British colonial government in the late 1800s in present-day Jharkhand and Odisha. The document discusses how tribal groups in this region traditionally lived by practices like jhum cultivation and herding, but were negatively impacted by British policies aimed at sedentarization and control of forest resources. Tribal chiefs lost power and people faced exploitation. Birsa Munda's movement sought to recover tribal peoples' independence and way of life, establishing a "golden age." Though Birsa died in 1900, his movement drew attention to injustice and introduced some legal protections for tribal land rights.
