Was education really limited only to the upper castes?
Look at the data from Adam's Survey (1830s)—
📚 Total Hindu students: 22,957
Upper caste category
🔹 Brahmin – 5,744
🔹 Kayastha – 2,733
🔹 Upper caste Bania – 538
🔹 Vaidya – 194
➡️ Total upper caste students: 9,209 (40.1%)
Students from other castes (including SC/ST/OBC):
➡️ 13,748 (59.9%)
If education was the exclusive right of upper castes only,
then how were nearly 60% of students in schools from other castes?
