(en) Benjamin Lewis Rice (Bangalore, 17 de julio de 1837 - Londres, 10 de julio de 1927) fue un epigrafista, arqueólogo y lingüista políglota indobritánico. Sus padres eran misioneros británicos con inclinaciones académicas. Su padre, Benjamin Holt Rice, llegó a la India en 1837. Tardó solo siete meses en aprender a hablar y escribir idioma canarés (kannada). Cuando la escuela en la que trabajaba tuvo dificultades en encontrar buenos libros de texto en canarés, el reverendo Rice se dedicó a escribirlos, incluyendo textos sobre aritmética, geografía, historia y sobre la Biblia.Lewis Rice creció en esa atmósfera. Su padre lo envió a Inglaterra a estudiar. Retornó a Bangalore en 1860 con una licenciatura. Fue nombrado director de la escuela secundaria Bangalore High School (actual Central College). Cinco años después (1865) fue nombrado inspector de escuelas para los estados de Mysore y Coorg. En 1868 fue director de Instrucción Pública de Mysore y Coorg ―en que introdujo el «sistema escolar hobli», en el que las escuelas de los pueblos (hobli: ‘región’) serían gratuitas, administradas por organismos locales y pagadas mediante impuestos a los terratenientes―. En 1881 fue designado jefe oficial de censos y en 1883 secretario del Departamento de Educación. En 1868 publicó el que quizá fue su primer libro: An introduction to sanskrit. (es) |
