"Even 25 years after independence we are blissfully carrying on with the same system of education which was designed by Macaulay and Co to breed clerks and mental slaves.
"Even 25 years after independence we are blissfully carrying on with the same system of education which was designed by Macaulay and Co to breed clerks and mental slaves.
Slaves who would be incapable of thinking independently of their British masters; slaves who would admire everything about the masters, even while hating them; slaves who would consider it an honour to be standing by the side, of the masters, to speak the language of the masters
to dress like the masters, to sing and dance like the masters; slaves, who would hate their own people and would be available to preach the gospel of hatred among their own people.
