2) It introduced people to the new ideas and innovations which widened the periphery of learning.
3) It created unity among the people of different regions and later on build up the feeling of nationalism and political consciousness.
4) It also generated the ideas of great thinkers and philosophers like Rousseau, Voltaire etc whose ideas of democracy,liberty and equality had great impact on the people.
The demerits of Western Education are:-
1) To consolidate British's power and position in the country.
2) British wanted to establish their cultural domination with spread of English language.
3) To serve their economic interests as English education would convince Indians about the superiority of British goods which were machine made, it would make Indians recognise the advantages of trade and commerce.
4) English education would create a class of people who could be part of civil service and serve their administrative purpose.
