Cecil Earle Tyndale-Biscoe (1863-1949) waa a british missionary and educationist who worked in Kashmir. While there he established the Tyndale-Biscoe school.
Cecil saw the caste system as a serious problem in Kashmir which had a Muslim majority. He aimed to use his own Christian values and western civic ideals to improve Kashmir society.
His educational philosophy was one in which conspicuous intellect was valued less than the acquisition of more profound attributes and abilities. His schooling placed emphasis on physical activities. The pupils were also engaged in civil duties.
He was a convinced imperialist and supporter of the India Defence League.
He founded 6 schools with 1,800 students. In 1912 he received the Kaisar-I-Hind medal and an additional bar in 1929 in recognition of his work. After Indian Independence he left for Southern Rhodesia where he died in 1949.
(Born with the family name of Biscoe -changed to Tyndale-Biscoe in 1883)
