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?

Correct Answer: 2 only

To determine which of the given pairs are correctly matched, let us analyze each institution established during the colonial rule in India along with its founder:

1. Sanskrit College at Benaras:
The Sanskrit College was established at Benaras in 1791 by Jonathan Duncan (the Resident at Benaras) to study and preserve Hindu religion, laws, and philosophy. Sir William Jones founded the Asiatic Society of Bengal in 1784. Therefore, Pair 1 is incorrect.

2. Calcutta Madarsa:
The Calcutta Madarsa (also known as Madarsa-i-Aliah) was set up by Warren Hastings, the first Governor-General of Bengal, in 1780 for the study and teaching of Muslim law and related subjects. Therefore, Pair 2 is correct.

3. Fort William College:
Fort William College was established in Calcutta in 1800 by Lord Richard Wellesley (Governor-General of Bengal), not Arthur Wellesley (his brother, who was a military commander). The college was created to train British civil servants in Indian languages and customs. Therefore, Pair 3 is incorrect.

Conclusion: Only pair 2 is correctly matched.
