Modi vs Macaulay: Dalrymple, Tripathi Debate English Education and India's 'Slavery Mindset'

This special report examines Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks on Thomas Macaulay and the legacy of English education in India, sparking a debate between historian William Dalrymple and author Amish Tripathi. The discussion covers whether English education created a 'slavery mindset' or provided modern values, with Dalrymple arguing India has the 'best of both worlds' and Tripathi calling for the decolonisation of India's educational and cultural systems. According to the Prime Minister, 'Macaulay broke the back of our self-confidence, filled us with a sense of inferiority, threw our entire way of life into a dustbin in one stroke'. The programme explores these contrasting views on India's colonial past and its modern identity, touching upon language, medicine, architecture, and history. #ModiVsMacaulay #EnglishEducation #DecoloniseIndia #itwebvideos #ColonialLegacy #NarendraModi #WilliamDalrymple #AmishTripathi #IndiaToday #SpecialReport #IndianHistory Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
