| - | Tyndale Biscoe School is a school in Srinagar, India. C.M.S Tyndale Biscoe Memorial High School is an "all boys school" nestled in the beautiful valley of Kashmir, in the heart of the summer capital Srinagar. The school was founded in 1880 and is the oldest school in Srinagar. The school was originally started by Christian missionaries to Kashmir and to this day has affiliations with the Christian Mission Society. <ref name=wikipedia>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyndale_Biscoe_School] Wikipedia.ORG.

| - | In the late-nineteenth century, Kashmir was a princely state and though Kashmir was not a component of the British Empire in India, the Maharaja always encouraged foreign experts to help in the development of the state. Tyndale-Biscoe aimed to use his own Christian values and western civic ideals to improve Kashmiri society. <ref name="wikipedia"/>

| - | Tyndale-Biscoe's educational philosophy was one in which conspicuous intellect, or 'cleverness', was valued less than the acquisition of more profound attributes and abilities. His schooling placed emphasis on physical activities — boxing, boating, football — which would stimulate senses of courage, masculinity and physical fitness. The pupils were also engaged in civic duties, such as street-cleaning, and in helping deal with flooding and cholera. Two people who contributed significantly to the further development of this school were the late Eric Tyndale-Biscoe (the son of Canon) and Pandit Niranjan Nath Fotadar the Headmaster in the 40s. Enforcing participation in team sports and activities in a highly socially-stratified culture had significance beyond the replication of Tyndale-Biscoe's English public school educational experience. <ref name="wikipedia"/> | + | |
