European teachers often employed various strategies to prevent Indians from speaking their native languages, primarily by enforcing English as the medium of instruction in schools. They discouraged the use of local languages through punitive measures, such as corporal punishment for speaking them. Additionally, they promoted Western cultural values and ideologies, fostering a sense of inferiority towards Indian languages and cultures, which further marginalized native linguistic practices. This approach aimed to facilitate colonial control and assimilation into European norms.
