In this study, it has been tried to explain the troubled process of madrasa and madrasa education, which had a golden age and reached a certain institutionalism during the time of the Mughal Empire, with the arrival of the British into the Indian peninsula since the mid-18th century. In this context, the reasons and results of the reforms that the British made or tried to make in the field of oriental ism and evangelism have been revealed. It is concluded that the Indian Muslims, who thought that reforms try to trivialise the teaching in madrasahs, have resorted school of thoughts in madrasahs by developing the reflex of "preserving the religion and culture of Islam". The emergence of different schools destroyed the curriculum unity in madrasahs and created a gap in knowledge as well as differences of opinion among Muslim students graduated from madrasahs.
