The most important system of education in medieval period was the Buddhist system of education. Buddhist education came into the existence in the 5th century B.C. Buddhist system of education was monastic. All castes were admitted to Buddhist sangh. The history of education in Buddha period is inter-related with the history of monasteries and Vihara because there were no independent educational institutions or centers, other than those religious centers. Those centers were highly responsible for the spread of Buddhism in India by 600B.C.
The Indian Universities Commission was a body appointed in 1902 on the instructions of Lord Curzon which was intended to make recommendations for reforms in University education in India.[1] Appointed following a conference on education at Simla in September 1901, the Commission was led by Law member Thomas Raleigh and included among its members Syed Hussain Belgrami and Justice Gooroodas Banerjee. The recommendations of the commission included regulations for reformation of University Senates in Indian Universities, greater representation of affiliated colleges in the senates, and stricter monitoring of affiliated instituitions by the universities. It also made recommendations for reform of school education, curricular reforms at Universities, recommendations on education and examinations, research, as well as student welfare and state scholarships.[2] The recommendations were however controversial at the time. There was a growing nationalist sentiment in British India, and a number of colleges and institutions of higher education had risen in metropolitan suburbs which were linked to the major universities of Calcutta, Bombay and Madras. These set their own curriculum, and the recommendations of the commission were seen as measures to derecognise and regulate indigenous institutions which fell into disfavour of the Raj.[3] Despite strong and sustained opposition from Indian populace, the recommendations were enacted by Curzon as Indian Universities Act 1904.

History of Indian Education System
India has a rich history of academia and the formal dissemination of education. We are aware of the Gurukuls of ancient India, where pupils were taught several subjects that prepared them for survival in the world. Since then, the subcontinent's cultural climate has massively shaped how the youth are instructed about the ways of the world and how they contribute to it. The following text systematically examines this progression.
The Upanishads and Dharanshastras can be used to trace the origins of education in ancient India. The idea of Gurukulas is the most significant gift of the old Indian educational system. Unfortunately, the Gurukula educational system is unquestionably declining despite numerous initiatives to Indianize our education via organizations like Vishwa Bharti University, Sri Aurobindo University, Jarnia Millia International, Vidya Bhawan, and Banasthatividyapith, to mention just a few. Candidates from all over the world flocked to ancient Indian institutions like Takshashila and Nalanda, which were renowned for the calibre of their education.
While the British promoted education in India for purely selfish reasons, credit must be given to them for establishing the superior western educational system, which is unquestionably responsible for the current Indian educational system. Though it remains an ideal that has not been completely achieved, the Indian Constitution after Independence provided particular provisions for the promotion of education at different levels through the achievement of universal and compulsory schooling. The Indian government appointed numerous consultants to evaluate the Indian educational system at various stages and times. The Indian government did everything it could to promote education. The nation has unquestionably made significant progress in all areas of education, but we were never able to reach the magnificent ideal of universal kindergarten education or total literacy.
Vedic Spiritual Beginnings
Education in ancient India was closely tied to religious and spiritual practices and was primarily the domain of religious teachers and scholars. Education in ancient India was focused on the study of scriptures and the development of spiritual knowledge and wisdom. It was largely centered around religious institutions such as temples, monasteries, and ashrams. In ancient India, education was largely an oral tradition, with knowledge being passed down through generations of teachers and students. Students typically begin their education at a young age and study under a guru or spiritual teacher for many years. The education system in ancient India was highly hierarchical, with the guru at the top and the students at the bottom. The curriculum in ancient India was largely focused on studying scriptures and spiritual texts, such as the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita. Students would also study subjects such as Sanskrit, grammar, logic, and ethics. Education
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

India Company.
In 1854, he sent the “Wood Despatch” to the Governor
General Lord Dalhousie.

Wood’s Despatch is called Magna-Carta of English
Education in India because it professed the
promotion of western education in India.

province and universities on the model of the
London University.

country had risen which required immediate solution. As a
result, the despatch prepared by Sir Charles Wood in 1854 on
an educational system for India came to be called the Magna
Carta of education in the country.
The government needed to spread western education through
English medium for higher education. But vernacular primary
schools should be set up in rural areas.
Conclusion

importance of placing the means of acquiring useful and
practical knowledge within reach of the great mass of the
people.
