2> To develop a stratum in Indian society which would demand goods that would be produced by British industry, and which would thus extend and deepen the market of imported wares.
3> To prevent a feeling of disaffection and rebellion form spreading in the country, to turn Indians away from pursuing goals which would destroy imperialist rule over India, and to direct their energies to peaceful and gradual advance within the system.
4> To gestate an elite which would be Indian in blood and colour, but English in tastes, opinions, morals and intellect, and one which would provide imperialism witha social base.
5> To effect the economy in the cost of administration of the country by recruiting cheaper Indian educated labour to man the lower ranks of the military-bureaucratic apparatus.
6> To police the youth of the country through educational institutions so as to nip revolutionary actions in the bud.
7> To try to disseminate Christian religious theology and to endeavor to convert Indians to Christianity.
We may note that the educational system of India, both structurally and functionally, has remained unchanged since colonial times. The objectives of education realized under British rule and described above are operative today and this has been admitted by the Kothari Commission Report on Indian education.
