WILLIAM WILSON HUNTER

He had studied the British Colonial Education System in England. At the same time, there were complaints by Christians in England and America that education at colleges and universities produced skepticism and disbelief of traditional religion. The Jews of the Middle East complained before the birth of Christ that Jewish men who attended the Greek Gymnasiums lost their faith in Judaism. There has always been a conflict between secular education and religion in this respect.

The problem was that the British had adopted an Indian Civil Service system and instituted an educational system to train Indians. The Hindus attended the schools and did very well on the examinations. The Muslims, however, resisted the secular education, and most of their young men could not pass the examinations. See {616924} & {616925}.

The Western style of education was extremely effective for the Hindus, but was much less successful for the Muslims. The result was that over time, the Hundus achieved success in the professions, civil service, arts and sciences while the Muslims did not, thus changing the then existing parity of the two groups. For more on the difficulty that the Muslims had with British public education, see {616919} & {616925}.
