Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The British officials in the 19th century did not appreciate the oriental vision of learning. The oriental vision of learning was a system of education based on the learning of Indian texts. However, this vision was rejected in the 19th century. The officials believed that Indians should be acquainted with the European system of education. The main proponents of this vision were James Mill and Thomas Macaulay. They believed that eastern education was impractical and useless. They favoured western education which was considered to be scientific and practical.
