bhattathiri Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Lord McCauley in his speech of Feb 2,1835, British Parliament "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”. -Lord McCauley in his speech of Feb 2,1835, British Parliament Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barney Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 The British were morons decendants from barbarians and to think he is right you too must be of his and such would think the same. The British we cunning theives who came to rob the riches of mother India. They raped her of her dignity and left her naked while her children who had no back bones became their slaves. Even today her children are aping them in all aspects. I feel ashame but that is the fate of some Indians and that includes you. Wake up from your western dream.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Did not happen. He did not say that. It's only a quote that was fabricated/paraphrased from what Macaulay actually DID say at the British Parliament. Such speculation just gives me more and more cause to think maybe what we see in life is all there is. I believe in God, I want to believe that this life holds much more allure than I see in it. That the yugas are true, that India was a great country once. But such rumor-mongering, such incessant spread of falsehoods just keeps making me doubt more and more whether any of this is true.
