Why did James Mill and Thomas Macaulay think that European education was essential in India?

➡️✒$\underline{ANSWER:-}$

From the early nineteenth century many British officials began to criticise the orientalist vision of learning. James Mill was one of those who attacked the orientalist. The aim of education ought to be to to teach what was useful and practical. So, Indians should be made familiar with the scientific and technical advances that the west had made, rather than what the poetry and sacred literature of the orientalist.

James Mill saw Indian as an uncivilised country that needed to be civilised. No branch of Eastern knowledge, according to them could be compared what England had produced. With great energy and passion, Macaulay emphasised the need to teach the English language, science and philosophy.
