Neutrality issue with Early Era section

This section resembles a thesis, although it is also poorly structured. The center of the final paragraph focuses on and emphasizes educated women, which segues into a critique of the social system, and an argument about teaching practical skills. I feel much of this section is irrelevant, biased, and poorly written. EvitaDuartedePeron (talk) 05:33, 19 August 2015 (UTC)EvitaDuartedePeron

This wiki page has nothing from Official Survey of Indigenous Education in the Madras: 1822-26

I notice a line in this article which requires correction, currently it reads - > "However these Gurukuls catered only to the Upper castes of the Indian society and the overwhelming masses were denied any formal education." Which is not true.

Referring to the - The Beautiful Tree: Indigenous Indian Education in the Eighteenth Century by Dharampal - Which is based on - Official Survey of Indigenous Education in the Madras: 1822-26, which was order by the British Government.

• The term Scheduled caste and Scheduled Tribes did not exists during that era, but were mentioned as ‘other castes’ (also known as ‘pachamas’) in the report.
• 70% of the students (70% in Salem and Tinnevelly to over 84% in South Arcot) were from ‘Shudra’ community[i]. and ‘other castes’. This was the trend for most of country. The lowest was observed in Telgu speaking districts 35%.
• Around 20% of the students were of of ‘Brahmin’ and the ‘Vaishya’ community[i].
• In some villages of Bihar, ‘Chandal’ and ‘Dom’ jati accounted for 50% of the students. In Bihar, nowhere did the ‘Brahmin’ and ‘Kayastha’ jati accounted for more than 40% of the total students [ii].

Education in the Indian subcontinent began with teaching of traditional elements such as Indian religions, Indian mathematics, Indian logic at early Hindu and Buddhist centres of learning such as ancient Takshashila (in modern-day Pakistan) and Nalanda (in India). Islamic education became ingrained with the establishment of Islamic empires in the Indian subcontinent in the Middle Ages while the coming of the Europeans later brought western education to colonial India.
