Lord Macaulay's Address To The British Paliament On Breaking Africa (23389 Views)

Lord Macaulay's address to the British Parliament on 2nd Feb 1835.

I have traveled across the length and breath of Africa 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 African's think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation.

Though I believe that the power-hungry British statesmen are capable of making this useless statement but this particular 1 is fake - as Africa was replaced with India in the snapshot below.
