Indian History books are written by the Colonial Socialists and Marxists (Communists), who propagated the Missionaries work on Indian history and philosophy. ---------------- Watch this short video : https://youtube/watch?v=lP25exSwVUQ ---------------- Bishop Robert Caldwell (1814–1891) was an Evangelist missionary and linguist, whose works are taken as holy grail by the Indian Leftists for their academic base. Macaulayism is the conscious policy of liquidating indigenous culture through the planned substitution of the alien culture of a colonizing power(esp the Western Christian) via the education system. The term is derived from the name of British politician and Missionary Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-1859), an individual who was instrumental in the introduction of English as the medium of instruction in the higher education of India. Macaulay held the western culture in high esteem and saw his mission as a civilizing mission: We must at present do our best to form a class who may be interpreters between us and the millions whom we govern; a class of persons, Indian in blood and colour, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals, and in intellect. To that class we may leave it to refine the vernacular dialects of the country, to enrich those dialects with terms of science borrowed from the Western nomenclature, and to render them by degrees fit vehicles for conveying knowledge to the great mass of the population, Macaulay declared. In the independent nation of India which emerged in the second half of the 20th century, Macaulays name has become emblematic for the ills of colonialism. Macaulay and the British education system have been blamed for producing a generation of Indians not proud of their distinct heritage. Speaking at a national seminar on Decolonizing English Education in 2001, professor Kapil Kapoor, declared that one of the byproducts of mainstream English language education in India today has been its tendency to marginalize inherited learning and to have uprooted academics from traditional Indian modes of thought, inducing in them a spirit of self-denigration (heenabhavna). Author Rajiv Malhotra has bemoaned the continuation of the policy on Indian education started by the famous Lord Macaulay over 150 years ago for the virtual banishment of classic Indian literature from the countrys higher academic institutions and the emergence of a new breed of writers professing a uniquely Indian Eurocentrism. ------------------ Dr. Subramanian Swamy
