Analysing the education system of any nation, from inception to present time, always requires meticulous reviewing of history- political frameworks since it has come to its present shape due to multitudinous influences from its past immemorial sources. Indian education system, right from its inception to present post-modern condition often evaluated as deeply sustained and modified product of multicultural traditions and legacies. Race, ethnicity, place conscious traditions, geographical implications, foreign invasions etc. all modified in the present articulated form of education practiced or rather revered in India. Education during Vedic junctures to dark medieval period to present Post-modern period appeared to be linked and structured by cultural strings of different educational legacies. Scotts and the Scottish missionaries in India had left a tremendous poignant mark in Indian education system. Their mission and erudite vision about education has transformed the educational setting and atmosphere looming large in India, engrossing socio-politico, intellectual and cultural spheres. The present study is, therefore, an attempt to elucidate their multi-faceted educational endeavours in the19th century India and the far-reaching consequences which continues to bedazzle and shape present Indian education system.
