How did modern education bring about unity among Indians?

Modern education brought about unity among Indians in the following ways:

1. The Indians who received modern education could now read western thought and literature. They were exposed to the revolutionary changes taking place in the West — the American and French Revolutions. They also became aware of the ideas of democracy, equality and nationalism. The Indians were now inspired by the ideas of nationalism and democracy.
2. The reform movements also played an important role in bringing the people together.
