List the effects of Western education on India.

2

Following are the effects of Western education on India:

  1. The introduction of Western education in India gradually led to the complete ‘Westernisation’ of the domestic education system.
  2. The indigenous methods of education and learning gradually became extinct.
  3. There arose a class of English-speaking Indian graduates who became pivotal in the running of the British Empire in India. These graduates worked on low salaries as clerks of the Raj. Ironically, it was this very class of professionals that later proved to be instrumental in the rise of nationalism in India.
  4. A side-effect of the introduction of Western education was also the creation of cultural revivalists on one hand and apologists on the other.
