There were many factors that led to the rise of nationalism in India. In light of this statement, answer the following questions:

What changes did Western education bring about in the traditional Indian outlook?

Short Note

Solution

The British had introduced Western Education in India to create a class of loyal clerks and Anglicized buyers of British goods. Western education did that and much more. It opened the floodgates of modem knowledge and rational thinking. New ideas of humanism, nationalism and democracy transformed the traditional outlook of the people. A new class arose-English-educated Indians-small in number but who in course of time, would produce, leaders and organizers of a national movement.
