In the pre-colonial period in Bengal, the basic centres of education were the patshalas, maktabs,tols and madrasahs, some of which were more or less religion-based. Instruction in these schools was given in the vernaculars. In maximum, the aristocracy did not send their children to these schools and preferred to educate them at home. Educating a girl child was not of much importance during the period though the Zamindars often had their daughters home-schooled. But at the same time, there was no objection about co-education. According to data or sources, this type of elementary education system was popular throughout the pre-colonial Bengal. I have analysed in this paper the condition of the maktab learning and the state of the Muhammadans especially in Midnapore during the 19th and 20th centuries in colonial Bengal.
