NCERT class 8

Answer 1

The inadequate measures by the British government took to advance education in India were often guided by reasons other than philanthropy such as ensuring the supply of cheap educated Indians to subordinate posts in the administration and hope that educated Indians would expand the market for British manufacturers in India. Though inadequate, it introduced Indians to the modern political and social thought. They gained knowledge of the revolutions which raged Europe at the end of the middle ages.
