I want to know the answer to the following question:
Besides assimilation of British culture, what else did the British consider Indians to be?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Trautmann considers two separate and logically opposite sources for the growing hostility: one was "British Indophobia", which he calls essentially a developmentalist, progressivist, liberal, and non-racial-essentialist critique of Hindu civilisation as an aid for the improvement of India along European lines; the other was scientific racism, a theory of the English "common-sense view" that Indians constituted a "separate, inferior and unimprovable race".". Is that enough to answer the question?
