      The Asiatic Society is a Government of India organisation founded during the Company rule in India to enhance and further the cause of 'Oriental research' (in this case, research into India and the surrounding regions). It was founded by the philologist William Jones in 1784 in a meeting presided over by Justice Robert Chambers in Calcutta, the then-capital of the Presidency of Fort William.
