<br/><br/> British reaction to' the spread of higher education in India began in the second-half of the nineteenth century when young Indians <br/>educated in the universities and affiliated colleges began to see the vision of a-modern Indian nation. With the coming of <br/>Curzon to India in 1899, this reactionary policy reached its climax, success and fulfilment. Like a prudent general, Curzon <br/>reconnoitred the whole field of higher education in India before delivering the final assault. He meticulously drew a plan in 1900 <br/>for the reform of the universities in India by bringing them under government control and summoned a Conference at Simla in the <br/>following year to discuss the subject among the European educational experts. Next year he appointed a roving Commission <br/>and without paying any heed to the storm of protests raised by the educated Indians against the recommendations of the Indian <br/>Universities Commission, almost adamantly went ahead with his plan and passed the Indian Universities Act in 1904 and the <br/>Validating Act in 1905, before he finally left the shores of India. leaving behind him a trail of blazing nationalism. Based on varied source materials available in India, this work throws fresh light on the significance of Curzon's University reform in the evolution of Indian Nationalism. <br/>
