Abstract
This historical research discovers the key features, highlighted principles and the subsidizing factors of the British educational system in colonial Punjab. The objective of this study is the appropriate consideration of the British as well as Indigenous education. Although this study renounces the popular allegory of the radical changes claimed by the British educational system, yet it launches that how it donated to the literary, academic, economic, social and political progression of Punjab. Its outcomes for the regional vernacular were gigantic. It discloses how English became a means of communication, reprisal and confrontation at the hands of inhabitants. In its nature, it is a descriptive and historical one. It critically traces the contextual history of western education with English as the means of instruction in the subcontinent and its influence on the teaching of several subjects and indigenous languages in the postcolonial period. It investigates that how the education in the subcontinent was exaggerated in the wake of diametrical move in the British political policy from engraftment, orientalism, conciliation and amalgamation to antagonism, oppression and hostility
