Detailed Solution

The given statement is False.
There was a significant decline in Kathak throughout the British Era. In addition to Anglican missionaries who denigrated Hinduism, this was partly caused by the sexually oppressive Victorian morality. Kathak was seen during this time as impolite amusement for the British aristocracy connected to the brothel. Famous dancers started home lessons by instructing members of their own families throughout the British Era to maintain this talent. As a result, the idea of Gharanas began to take shape, and Kathak was separated into three major Gharanas: the Jaipur, Lucknow, and Banaras Gharanas, as well as the less well-known Raigarh Gharana. Ghar, which means "house," is the root of the word "Gharana."
The correct statement is that the development of Kathak was not encouraged by the British Era.
