With reference to educational institutions during colonial rule in India, consider the following pairs : Institution - Founder 1. Sanskrit College at Benaras - William Jones 2. Calcutta Madarsa - Warren Hastings 3. Fort William College - Arthur Wellesley Which of the pairs given above is/are correct ?

Option (b) is correct because Warren Hastings established the Calcutta Madarsa in 1781 to promote the study of Islamic law and Persian. Pair 3 is the most tempting error because Fort William College was founded by Richard Wellesley, not his brother Arthur Wellesley, while Pair 1 is incorrect as Jonathan Duncan founded the Sanskrit College (William Jones founded the Asiatic Society). This question tests the core concept of early British orientalist initiatives and the specific individuals responsible for institutionalizing education in colonial India.
