How did English education prove to be advantageous or disadvantageous for the Indians? |
|
Answer» Education in English paved the way for the rise of Indian nationalism. Western ideas and nationalism spread with English education. Learning English made Indians familiar with latest trends of the world. Thus they were inspired by the ideas of Democracy – from the American War of Independence and of ‘Liberty, Equality and Fraternity- from the French revolution. People began dreaming about a bright future of independent India. The educated public of India came closer to one another. They came to know and understand each other’s thoughts. The feeling of being united and protesting against the injustice meted out and the exploitation done by the British government was awakened among Indians. The emotions of nationalism and new awakening developed in the educated public. In this way, English education actually played an important role in developing the feeling of nationalism among Indians. |
