(a) The “civilising mission” of the colonisers was an imperial disguise for controlling colonies.
European powers assumed that their civilisation was the most advanced, and that it was their
humanitarian concern to spread it around the world, even if this was done by force. Europeans
became the self-professed carriers of light to the colonies, rejecting the latter’s inherent
traditions, religions and cultures as outdated. Also, education was viewed as a “civilising” tool,
but fearing retaliation, the colonisers—the French in Vietnam, the British in India, did not want
to give full access to the colonised people to Western education. They were aware that Western
education might instill democratic ideals and a desire for independence. Hence, the “civilising
mission” was marred by double standards and sheer hypocrisy.
(b) Huynh Phu So was a revolutionary leader who started an anti-French movement known as
the Hoa Hoa. He was declared the “Mad Bonze” and put in a mental asylum by the French. He
performed miracles and helped the poor; condemning unnecessary expenses, gambling,
intoxication and the sale of child brides. Interestingly, he was declared sane in 1941, but was
exiled to Laos after the doctor treating him also became his follower.
