Answer 2

Answer:

Mahatma Gandhi argued that colonial education created

a sense of inferiority in the minds of Indians. It made

them see Western civilisation as superior, and destroyed

the pride they had in their own culture. There was

poison in this education, said Mahatma Gandhi, it was

sinful, it enslaved Indians, it cast an evil spell on them.

Charmed by the West, appreciating everything that

came from the West, Indians educated in these

institutions began admiring British rule. Mahatma

Gandhi wanted an education that could help Indians

recover their sense of dignity and self-respect. During

the national movement he urged students to leave

educational institutions in order to show to the British

that Indians were no longer willing to be enslaved.

Mahatma Gandhi strongly felt that Indian languages

ought to be the medium of teaching. Education in

English crippled Indians, distanced them from their

own social surroundings, and made them “strangers in

their own lands”. Speaking a foreign tongue, despising

local culture, the English educated did not know how

to relate to the masses.

Western education, Mahatma Gandhi said, focused

on reading and writing rather than oral knowledge;

it valued textbooks rather than lived experience and

practical knowledge. He argued that education ought to develop person’s  mind and soul. Literacy –

or simply learning to read

and write – by itself did

not count as education.

People had to work with

their hands, learn a craft,

and know how different

things operated. This

would develop their mind

and their capacity to

understand.
