It will be 200 years in 10 years since the time British historian and politician Thomas Babington Macaulay began a colonial campaign to uproot the cultural foundations of India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at an event on Monday.
This decade is critical for the people of India because the nation needs to undo the harm that Macaulay's decisions had inflicted before 2035, when India will complete 200 years of imposition of the English language in education, PM Modi said at the sixth Ramnath Goenka Lecture in Delhi.
