The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Mahatma Gandhi.

Mahatma Gandhi strongly criticized English education, stating that it had "enslaved" Indians. He believed it alienated individuals from their own culture, traditions, and the common people. Gandhi advocated for an education system rooted in indigenous languages and knowledge, emphasizing vocational training and character building over mere bookish learning. His views were a significant part of his broader critique of colonial rule and its impact on Indian society.
