Macaulay's Legacy: Special Report on the Debate Over English Education in India

Описание: This special report examines the legacy of Thomas Babington Macaulay, a British historian and politician who came to India in 1834 and introduced his 'Minute on Education' in 1835. In it, he stated, 'We must be at present do our best to form a class who may be interpreters between us and the millions whom we govern, a class of persons, Indian in blood and colour, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals and in intellect.' The policy led to the wide introduction of English education, shaping India's educational and legal systems for years. The programme explores the questions of whether English is a language of opportunity or oppression and if it inculcated modern values or a colonial mindset, framing it as the 'Modi versus Macaulay' debate.
