Solution

It is a fact that he had been a beneficiary of western education but when he was in thirties he began to oppose this system as he realised what it has done to India.It can been felt in his words "real freedom will come only when we free ourselves of the domination of Western education, Western culture and Western way of living which have been ingrained in us"because from courts to newspapers all were enslaved by the English language.
