Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Mahatma Gandhi believed that education in English made Indians feel inferior. He believed that British education had enslaved the Indians. His concerns about the English education system are that it makes them see Western civilisation as superior and destroys the pride they have in their culture. This has created a sense of inferiority in the minds of Indians. Some Indians began to admire British rule after being seduced by the West and receiving a Western education. It has poisoned their minds and souls. Some Indians, after learning English, began to look down on other Indians. So he called it a sin. He wanted a system to help the Indians regain their dignity and self-respect.
