      Decent attempt.
      In intro, however, you can mention some steps taken by the British towards evolution of education starting from Charter Act of 1813, Macaulay’s minute, Wood’s Dispatch etc
      Content of the body is good, most points are mentioned. Downward infiltration theory can be mentioned in 1st part.
      In 2nd part, decline of traditional knowledge systems can also be mentioned.
      Conclusion is fine, but use a connecting word such as ‘however’, otherwise it seems conclusion doesn’t suit what is written in the body.
      Keep practicing. 🙂

      Rest of the content is good, not much changes required.
      In conclusion, you can however mention some of the unintended consequences of modern education- creation of a class of modern, educated, liberal Indians with national consciousness who sensitized masses to give an impetus to the freedom movement.
      Keep practicing. 🙂
