LORD MACAULAY'S ADDRESS TO THE
BRITISH PARLIAMENT 2 FEBRUARY, 1835
| have travelled across the length and breadth
lof India and | have not seen one person who is
ja beggar, who is a thief. such wealth | have
}seen in this country, such high moral values,
jpeople of such caliber, that | do not think we
jwould ever conquer this county, unless we
break the very backbone of this nation, which
ib her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, | propose that we replace
fer old and ancient education system, her culture, for ifthe Indians think that all
that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose
their selfesteem, their native culture and they will become what we want them, @
truly dominated nation."
