English was introduced in nineteenth-century India within the broader context of British colonial rule and administrative consolidation. The East India Company required a class of educated Indians to assist in governance, law, trade, and clerical work. The Charter Act of 1813 and Macaulay’s Minute on Education in 1835 played decisive roles in promoting English as the medium of higher education.
