Let the Clarion Call Resound " a Biscoite is a Man for Others"

Let the Clarion Call Resound " a Biscoite is a Man for Others" Tyndale-Biscoe aimed to use his own Christian values and western civic ideals to improve Kashmiri society.

C.M.S Tyndale Biscoe Memorial High School is an 'all boys school' in Jammu and Kashmir, India, in the heart of the summer capital Srinagar.[1] The school was founded in 1880 and is the oldest school in Srinagar The school was started by Christian missionaries and was named after Canon Cecil Tyndale-Biscoe (1863-1949).[2] It still has affiliations with the Church Mission Society. In the late-ninete

enth century, Kashmir was a princely state and though Kashmir was not a component of the British Empire in India, the Maharaja encouraged foreign experts to help in the development of the state. Tyndale-Biscoe's educational philosophy valued the acquisition of more profound attributes and abilities than conspicuous intellect, or 'cleverness'. His schooling placed emphasis on physical activities — boxing, boating, football — which would stimulate senses of courage, masculinity and physical fitness. The pupils 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 the school were the late Eric Tyndale-Biscoe (the son of Canon) and Pandit Niranjan Nath Fotadar the Headmaster in the 1940s.
