Did the introduction of the english language and western education system helped indians in long run?
Answers
Western education in India was introduced by the British . But they introduced it in all their colonies which might approximately be 1/3rd of the entire globe at that time . We got a global language , global culture etc . I think introduction of western education was a pre-condition to globalisation . If India were not introduced with it , we would be having difficulty in competing and participating in the global arena . English and all its education kind of made a new slate for India which was at the time of introduction were all divided into many states, many cultures and many languages . The unification of these diverse people were significantly introduced by white education . The other major part for unification was the rise of nationalism . The country India started to stand united against British because of their education . Everyone had a common thread by which they could relate to each other . So in the long run , western education did India more good than it is supposed to do for the British itself .
