Option 2 : Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

The Correct Answer is Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

 

  • Asiatic Society of Bengal, a scholarly society founded on Jan 15, 1784, by Sir William Jones, a British lawyer and Orientalist, to encourage Oriental studies.
  • The Asiatic Society had the support and encouragement of Warren Hastings, the governor-general (1772–85) of Bengal, though he declined its presidency. Hence Assertion is Correct.
  • Warren Hastings was himself a great scholar and an ardent orientalist.
  • Warren Hastings took an interest in translating the Bhagavad Gita into English, and his efforts led to the first translation appearing in 1785.
  • He wrote the introduction to it as translated by Charles Wilkins, which appeared on 4 October 1784 in Benares. Hence Reason is Correct.
    • The first issue of the journal, The Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, appeared in March 1832, with the aim “to give publicity to such oriental matters as the antiquarian, the linguist, the traveller and the naturalist may glean, in the ample field open to their industry in this part of the world, i.e. Asia, and as far as means would permit, to the progress of the various sciences at home, especially such as are connected in any way with Asia”.
    • So, reason is not correct explanation of assertion.

 

  • Warren Hastings was the first Governor of the Presidency of Fort William (Bengal), the head of the Supreme Council of Bengal, and thereby the first de facto Governor-General of Bengal from 1772 to 1785.
  • He is credited along with Robert Clive for laying the foundation of the British Empire in India.
