Arya samaj and Indian education system
Author(s): Gurvinder Kaur
Abstract: During the colonial period, Indian political and social conditions were unsatisfactory, Indian culture was sagging in the collapse, and people had forgotten their glorious past. Therefore, several social and religious movements emerged in different parts of India at the end of the nineteenth century. Dayanand Saraswati was the founder of Arya Samaj, who gave an indigenous orientation to Indian people from a different point of view and tried to destroy the ignorance, incest and darkness of society. He considered that education means overcoming this ignorance; establishing several Gurukuls and Dayanand Anglo Vedic Schools, Arya Samaj paved the way for India’s cultural development. The present research study examines the relevance of educational reforms done by Arya Samaj. The paper also discusses the higher educational ideals of Arya Samaj in the context of the Indian education system.
