Answer:

William Jones shared a deep respect for ancient cultures, both of India and the West. He felt that study of Indian history, philosophy and law would not only help the British learn from Indian culture, but it would also help Indians rediscover their own heritage, and understand the lost glories of their past. In this process, the British would become the guardians of Indian culture as well as its masters. William Jones believed that only a new study of the legal texts could form the basis of future development in India.
