Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
A critic of the Orientalists included James Mill. He claimed that the British goal should not be to teach what the Indians desired or revered to appease them and "gain a place in their heart." Instead, he believed teaching that was practical and useful should be the goal of education. Moreover, he wanted Indians to be introduced to the scientific and technological advancements produced by the West rather than the poetry and religious literature of the Orient.
Hence, the correct statement would be that James Mill was against the Orientalists.
