Preeminence of the Vernaculars: Or the Anglicists Answered : Being Four Letters On the Education of the People of India

This book addresses the debate over the use of vernacular languages versus English in the education of the people of India. Written by Brian Houghton Hodgson, a prominent British civil servant and scholar of Tibetan and Himalayan cultures, the book argues in favor of preserving the indigenous languages of India as a means of preserving its diverse cultures and fostering social and political unity. Drawing on his extensive experience in India, Hodgson provides a nuanced and insightful analysis of the issue that is still relevant today.
