In the English Education Act 1835 , Macaulay suggested to maintain the Mahometan College at Delhi since it was adequate for traditional learning .
Among Macaulay 's recommendations were the immediate stopping of the printing by the East India Company of Arabic and Sanskrit books and that the Company should not continue to support traditional education beyond `` the Sanskrit College at Benares and the Mahometan College at Delhi '' .The Act itself , however , took a less negative attitude to traditional education and was soon succeeded by further measures based upon the provision of adequate funding for both approaches .
