a European education
Explanation: English-language schooling exposed a Western-educated Indian middle class to liberal ideas (liberty, equality, self-rule), political thought, and modern historical narratives. Those graduates — lawyers, teachers, journalists and civil servants — formed the leadership of 19th-century nationalist organizations (e.g., the Indian National Congress) and articulated demands for greater self-government.
