The colonial mindset

else remains under him?

LET ME BEGIN with a confession.I am one of those products of Macaulay’s education system that the Prime Minister denounced while delivering the Ramnath Goenka Memorial lecture last week. he said that thomas Babington Macaulay had created an education system for India that was designed to turn Indians into little brown English people who would be Indian in name only.Absolute ly true. I went to a girls’ school that was modeled wholly on English public schools. We spoke only English, read only English literature and poetry and knew very, very little about our own country.
