Solution

The correct option is B 1829
The western system of education was introduced in a number of schools. In 1829, the Bengal government established an English class in the Calcutta Madrasa, which was a Muslim institution. Later English classes were introduced in Benaras Sanskrit College. The shifting of emphasis from oriental learning to western education was not received well by the people, especially the Pandits and the Maulvis.
