Answers
Answer:
View all notes Even in his later life, he never became an atheist: John Mill wrote that his father 'looked upon [atheism] as absurd'. Mill's opinion was that 'of the origin of the world, nothing can be known', which would make him, in modern terms, an agnostic
Answer:
James Mill did not cherish any positive idea about India. He was of the opinion that all Asian societies were at a lower level of civilisation than Europe. According to his telling of history, before the British came to India, the Hindu and the Muslim despots ruled the country. Religious intolerance, caste taboos and superstitious practices dominated social life. He felt that only British rule could civilise India. He suggested that the British should conquer all the territories of India to ensure the enlightenment and happiness of the Indian people. For India was not capable of progress without the help of the British.
