  • The Impact of Modern Education on the Ruling Caste, the Urs, in the Princely State of Mysore
    142 ■ Research Note ■ Forming a Class of Gentlemen: the Impact of Modern Education on the Ruling Caste, the Urs, in the Princely State of Mysore ● Aya Ikegame 1. Introduction In the second half of the nineteenth century, modern and western education became a crucial matter not only for the Brahmins or liter- ary classes who already occupied high status in the colonial adminis- tration, but also for the Kshatriyas, especially princes and royals [Allen and Dwivedi 1998; Price 1996]. It may be argued that they wished to maintain, through such education, their authority as 'proper rulers' both from the point of view of their people and from that of the colonial power)) But what is a 'proper ruler'? What did it mean to be a king or a Kshatriya ruler in colonial times? The topic, which will be discussed here, concerns the nature and form of modern education introduced among Indian rulers, royals, and their caste members, the Urs, in the princely state of Mysore from the end of the nineteenth to the early twentieth century.

Economic development of any region is dependent upon optimum utilisation of available resources, active agricultural regime, enter- prising industry, well planned trade and commerce, wise banking, progressive transport and communication system and meaningful technological develop- ments . The role of transport and communication is very important in putting together all these varied factors. Further, the technological development of the later part of the 20th century and the wonder world of computer technology have brought about significant changes in transport and communication system. Particularly, in relation to transport and communication, the develop- ments in computer networking and the research and development taking place in Information Technology have brought about a feeling that the world is shrinking and the distance of thousands of kilometres do not seem to be far away at all. Today, all equipments of communication media have transformed the day to day life of man, in one way or the other. In the same manner it is notable that the transport and communication system of Mandya district is also on the path of development. Mandya district that has played an important role in the history of the state was a part of Mysore district till 1939. Although rivers such as Cauvery, Lokapavani, Shimsha.
