| Summary/Abstract |
"1 have travelled 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 calibre, 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. "
These words have been attributed to Macaulay's address to the British Parliament on 2"" February, 1835.
Though the authenticity is, of late, being questioned by certain quarters the detractors have yet not succeeded in convincingly proving their point and hence we take the above quoted words at face values. Needless to say that they speak volumes about the kind of society that India was.l For all those people who may still not believe this largely historical truth that India was a culturally rich and prosperous society, we would like to quote below Robert Clive's views about the city of Murshidabad presently in West Bengal which says that 'Murshidabad is a city of extensive, populous and rich as the city of London, with this difference, that there are individuals in the first possessing in?nitely greater property than in the last.
