Answer 2

Hi Guys,

Your answer is -

The European colonisers such as Britain and France considered themselves as most advanced civilisation. Thus, according to them, it became the duty of the Europeans to introduce these modern ideas to the colony even if this meant destroying local cultures, religions and traditions, because these were seen as outdated and prevented modern development.
