Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Mahatma Gandhi had a specific opinion regarding national education. He was opposed to western education. He favoured education based on Indian languages. According to Gandhiji, western education has caged the Indians into a sense of inferiority. Indians who are educated in western learning appear as strangers on one’s own land.

Rather oral knowledge should be valued. Education should help people to develop themselves.
