In the second part of this article, we discuss the changing community profile of boys studying in primary schools in Madras Presidency during the period 1885–1935. From the annual reports of the Department of Public Instruction in Madras Presidency (RDPI), we compile the community profile of boys under instruction in the Presidency of Madras for the years 1889–90, 1895–96, 1899–1900, 1905–06, 1920–21 and 1934–35, and compare these trends with the community profile of boys studying under the indigenous education system in ca. 1825 and also under the governmental education system during the nineteenth century. Since the reports of the DPI provide us only with the aggregate data on the levels of enrolment of Vaisyas and Sudras as also of the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs), a nuanced understanding of the educational deprivations suffered by various communities can be arrived at only from the Census data on literacy. For this purpose, we also present a detailed analysis of the data on the literacy of selected communities as reported in the Census of 1921.

19 世纪和 20 世纪初马德拉斯总统小学教育的社区概况：第二部分：1885-1935

在本文的第二部分，我们讨论了 1885 年至 1935 年期间在马德拉斯总统任期内在小学学习的男孩的社区概况。根据马德拉斯总统府公共教育部 (RDPI) 的年度报告，我们编制了 1889-90、1895-96、1899-1900、1905-06 年在马德拉斯总统府接受教育的男孩的社区概况， 1920-21 和 1934-35 年，并将这些趋势与在大约 10 年的土著教育系统下学习的男孩的社区概况进行比较。1825 年和 19 世纪也在政府教育系统之下。由于 DPI 的报告仅向我们提供了有关 Vaisyas 和 Sudras 以及在册种姓 (SC) 和在册部落 (ST) 的入学水平的汇总数据，只有通过人口普查的识字率数据，才能对不同社区所遭受的教育剥夺有一个细致入微的理解。为此，我们还详细分析了 1921 年人口普查中报告的选定社区的识字率数据。
