The Banaras Institute, which is also known as the Banaras Debating Club, and which was established in 1861, was one of the first organizations to be involved in the Hindi-Urdu controversy, with its support for the change in the script used by the government, which is Persian but known as Urdu, to the Devanagari script used to write Hindi.
