In the era of Mughals & Britishers, the women of the sub-continent performed notable services in the field of education. Not only did they gain knowledge of religious affairs but also used to work for promoting education. We can see women discussed alongside men by the poets of sub-continent. In this paper, I will discuss the education related affairs in the sub-continent before and after 1857, the comparison of the standard of education before and after the arrival of Britishers and the role of women under both governments.
