Answer 1

The following points may help you: a. As an Indian one would be quite astonished to reject knowledge of the east in total. b. Wood's destpatch identified grave errors in our education system. c. The British believed that by learning english education we would be more rational, scientific but they have failed to understand our most reversed spirital text

Answer 2

As an Indian I would have been open mouthed and would have wanted to understand the new system.

I would have been awestruck when I would have saw that now we have a separate department only for education.

Also  I would have been amazed with new proper system of education.

However, with rejection of all other native languages and imparting English language as a medium of education and ridiculing our native education system would have made me sad

Rather I would have thought of a mix system where mixtures of finest things of East and West educational system should have been served to us.
