Explanatory Answer
The author says that the dichotomy of values maintained by European intellectuals "was a consolation to the Indian intelligentsia for its perceived inability to counter the technical superiority of the west, a superiority viewed as having enabled Europe to colonize Asia and other parts of the world." The author is hence not likely to support the view that India became a colony although it matched the technical knowledge of the West.
According to the passage, "The Romantic English poets, Wordsworth and Coleridge, were apprehensive of the changes introduced by industrialization and turned to nature and to fantasies of the Orient." So, the author is likely to support the view that the Orientalist view of Asia fired the imagination of some Western poets.
The author argues that European intellectuals paid "little attention was given to the more tangible aspects" of the Indian pattern of life and tried to maintain a dichotomy in values with "little attempt to juxtapose these values with the reality of Indian society". So, the author is likely to support the view that Indian culture acknowledges the material aspects of life.
That Indian culture has evolved over the centuries is again a view that the author is likely to support.
