Excerpt from Our Educational Problem
In 1908, when Lala Har Dayal wrote these articles for the Punjabee I labouredunder the belief that some kind of education was better than no education, but my opinions. Have since undergone a great change and now I feel that while upto a certain point this education did us a certain amount of good, for some years backwards however it has been productive of positive harm. It has helped in the multiplication of intellectual and economic parasites and retarded our progress towards freedom. At no time in my life had I any doubt about the underlying motive-of the British Government in their educational policy, but these articles and some others written by the editor of the Modern Review, published in 1908 - 10 confirmed me in my suspicions. Mr. Gandhi's propaganda and the opportunities that it has afforded me of testing the effects of this education by experience acquired in the present struggle for political liberty, has streng thened me in my original belief. At the pre-4 sent moment, I strongly believe that this sys tem of education is more harmful than useful that it is emasculating and enervating that it is denationalizing and degrading; and that the so-called educated man is more effective a. Hindrance to our progress in political freedom. Than his uneducated brother.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the colonial era British educational system in India which was designed to strengthen their rule in the country. It was established to transform the social and intellectual character of young Indians, replacing Indian languages, customs, and traditions with those of Britain. The author argues that this system, and others like it, crippled India and other colonies by weakening their indigenous practices, cultures, and self-pride. The text is supported by historical evidence from British officials and other sources that detail the original goals of the educational system in India. The author effectively uses this documentation to make the case that colonialism killed the soul and creativity of India's younger generation. In doing so, this book offers a deep analysis of the role of education in imperialism, assimilation, and the preservation of culture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330393635_0
