Answer:
James Mill is known as father of Orientalism in INDIA.
Explanation:
A group of British colonial administrators and academics known as "Orientalists" believed that India should be governed in accordance with its own traditions and laws, in contrast to the "Anglicanism" of those who believed that India should be governed in accordance with British traditions and laws. Orientalists started to use the name Asian studies to characterize their work in the middle of the 20th century in an effort to separate it from the colonial and neocolonialist implications of Orientalism. The word has more recently been disparaged to refer to the purportedly too simple, stereotypical, and insulting perceptions of Arab and Asian cultures that are typically held by Western researchers, largely due to the work of the Palestinian American philosopher Edward Said.
The Orientalists were viciously assailed by James Mill. In order to appease them and "gain a place in their heart," he said, the British endeavor should not be to teach what the Indians desired or appreciated. The goal of education should be to provide practical and useful knowledge. Therefore, rather than introducing Indians to the poetry and religious literature of the Orient, it would be better to introduce them to the scientific and technological advancements that the West has produced.
