| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research has demonstrated that, in Bengal under British rule, 'English education'--a mechanism designed to procure a steady supply of native public servants--unwittingly ended up creating a number of 'drop-outs' or 'failures' by the end of the 1870s. Colonial rulers increasingly worried that the sense of discount shared among these young men might turn into seditious sentiments. It was in this context that a specific kind of colonial racism arose, labelling the majority of aspiring native youth as 'semi-educated', implying their alleged unfitness as public servants. By foregrounding the colonialist intervention into the question of the semi-educated, this research has pointed to a structural dilemma that British rule in India inevitably faced, whilst shedding light on the widespread existence of a lesser-known sort of colonial racism, which is different from the well-studied sort that derived from of the imperial anxieties over the increasing power of 'educated natives'.
