AWhig and an imperialist in equal measure, Thomas Babington Macaulay made his passage to India just as the great debate of the day was whether English should be the official language, or whether there was still a place for Hindi.

What came in February of 1835, with Macaulay’s Minute on Indian Education, was a treatise that helped Britain impose western education standards, prioritised western literature and science over traditional Indian learning, and recommended English be used in classrooms, at all times, by Indian teachers and pupils.

Macaulay’s aim was to create “a class of persons, Indian in blood and colour, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals and in intellect”. He had little doubt he was doing the right thing, grandly claiming that “a single shelf of a good European library was worth the whole native literature of India and Arabia”.

Yet 200 years on from Macaulay’s pronouncement, the matter is far from settled.

Narendra Modi, India’s prime minister, called on his country on Tuesday “to free ourselves from the mindset of slavery that Macaulay imposed on India”.

In an impassioned speech for the Indian Express newspaper’s annual lecture, Modi set India a ten-year timeframe to rid the country of Macaulay’s legacy.

“I want to appeal to the entire country,” said Modi. “Over the next decade, we must resolve to free ourselves from the mindset of slavery that Macaulay imposed on India. The coming ten years are extremely important.”

Modi said India had paid a heavy price for believing Macaulay instead of keeping faith in its own civilisation, claiming that the British baron “broke India’s self-confidence and instilled a sense of inferiority. In one stroke, he discarded thousands of years of India’s knowledge, science, art, culture and entire way of life.”

He added that Macaulay had broken the “backbone of India’s education system”.

Lollest LOL ra ayya...

Asalu English ante yeenti? Language originated from England ... okay le...idiseeyi..antha knowledge manaki yendhuku gaani.

British never cried like how present BJP is hoping Indians to cry 24x7.

They gave due credit to everything they imported. We still have Indian, Pakistani, Persian, Chinese, Lebanese boards on hotels and restaurants.

They give due respect to coffee, sugar and tea imports by labelling the source of origin.

 

NB: Electricity, Telephone, Internet, AI all came from either Western Europe (in which UK was the leading force) or from America (which has also mostly British or Germany Geneology).

Hindus did slavery to Muslim rulers from 1000 till 1757..

British liberated them from Islamic slavery and have them the identity they now call as India.

India as a country we know never existed before the advent of the British
