Why did the british introduced western education in india?
Answers
Answer:
British considered the task of civilising India as their moral responsibility, and therefore believed that modern western education would make people rational and scientific. The anglicist led by macaulay believed that the knowledge of the east was full of errors and unscientific thoughts.
Western education was introduced to us by the British people who conquered the Indian subcontinent which consist of India Pakistan Bangladesh and Burma.
The British came to India as traders and got trading licence from shahjahan in 1608 to trade with India.
From 1608 to around 1708 British people continued as traders and studied the Indian subcontinent. After 1708 gradually British people started playing divide and rule politics among small Indian kingdom.slowly they captured smaller areas .
