Read the following excerpt from t. n. mukharji's a visit to europe: they were as much astonished to see the indians produce works of art with the aid of rude apparatus they themselves had discarded long ago, as a hindu would be to see a chimpanzee officiating as a priest in a funeral ceremony and reading out sanskrit texts from a palm leaf book spread before him. based on this excerpt, what can most logically be concluded about mukharji's point of view? o a. europeans believe indians are an ignorant, uncultured people, o b. indians are not producing fine art because they use primitive tools o c. it is amazing that indians are so artistic o d. europeans have a limited experience with interpreting sanskrit

The right answer is the A) Europeans believe Indians are an ignorant, uncultured people.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the author implies that Europeans certainly believed that Indians were an ignorant, uncultured people, since he is comparing their astonishment after having seen them producing works of art with traditional tools with the astonishment that a Hindu would likewise express after having seen a chimpanzee behaving like a human.  

they fear for their lives
