Western Education
The contemporary educational system that is still used in India was founded by the British. The conventional educational institutions in the country were replaced by English-language programs. The British invasion caused India’s educational system to collapse. The British did not give the country’s school system any attention for the first sixty years. Education of the Indians in English became necessary to obtain manpower as their domain grew and they began to manage the finances and administration.
Afterward, the British set out on a mission to dismantle the antiquated gurukulam system, sowing the seeds for the nation’s cultural and linguistic upheaval.

Mahatma Gandhi had a perception that English education has enslaved Indians as colonial education created a certain sense of inferiority in the minds of Indians and made them see western civilization as a superior civilization and destroyed their confidence in their own culture.
