Lord Macaulay’s address to the British Parliament in 2 February, 1835:

"I have traveled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a

beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such

caliber, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage,

and, therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the

Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their

self-esteem, their native self-culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated

nation."
