Descrizione:

Macaulay arrived in India as President of the General Committee of Public Instruction in June 1834. (GCPI).

Macaulay’s Minute - Objectives

1)Spending Only on Western Education: Macaulay wanted the government to spend money only on western education, not oriental education.

2) Closure of Colleges: He advocated for the closure of all colleges that taught only eastern philosophy and subjects.

3) Downward Filtration Theory: He also advocated for the government to educate only a few Indians, who would then educate the rest of the population. This is referred to as the downward filtration' policy.

4) Indian by Blood & British by Taste: He wished to create a pool of Indians capable of serving British interests and remaining loyal to them. This group would be "Indian by blood and color, but English by tastes, opinions, morals, and intellect."
