Lord Macaulay's Address To The British Parliament 2 February, 1835.
"I Have travelled across the length and breadth of India 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 Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their selfesteem, their natice culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation.

ReplyDeleteunfortunately Yes Sir, :((((((((((((( and I felt it very very bad!

ReplyDeleteYou need not have felt very bad because the quote is a fake, a sleight of hand from a crooked religious politician of India.
I found this quote in another Tamil blog: its name I dont remember now. Like you, the blogger said he had received it through e-mail.
It appears that the miscreant has succeeded in circulation of this fake quote attributed to TBM (Thomas Babington Macaulay for me, Lord Macaulay for you).
I got suspicious of the quote as I am well versed in the writings of TBM. I have read all his essays and orations, his History of England and his poems, too. When I came across this quote, I became quickly alert that a mischief is on.
The English prose style used in this quote is the giveaway. On examination, it became obvious to me. The cheat could not imitate the TBM style even a bit. TBM wrote and spoke English which is called 'godly' by the Professors of English. It does not refer to your or my God. But means that it is worshipful by all lovers of English. He was a successful lawyer who drafted our IPC which is still in use in India.
No doubt, TBM was a pukka colonialist with scant regard and respect for Indian culture. But his racism or colonialism is not under discussion. Only the passage is.
I explained to the Tamil blogger how the religious or nationalist cheat has failed miserably in imitating TBM. The idiot did not know TBM is inimitable. As and when I recall the url, I will give you the link so that you can read my comments there.
This passage was also examined by a certain Prof from Bengal whose discovery you can find if you google.
Your forte is writing on Hindu religion, its numerous Gods and Goddesses, many Hindu sketrams etc. Not Hindutva politics.
I wish you realised your territory and did not transgres. May you keep your blogs free from the dirt of politics. In case you need to be 'political', do so by opening a separate blog. Dont mix god and politics. It will be letting down your hundreds of followers who wait eagerly for your blogpost every morning to receive their share of spirituality along with their cups of coffee and the newspaper.
Yours sincerely
Jo
Mr. Fernando, Welcome and Thank You for your appreciation for my blog posts. I did not delete this blog, it is still here only. The Tamilmanam authorities removed it from their countings because the heading and the subject is in English.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for this late publishing of your comments, just now while cleaning my comments box, founded your comments. The other comment will not be appeared because I have deleted the duplicate மார்கழித்திங்கள் மதிநிறைந்த நன்னாள் 7 post. You gave your comment in that post. I am sorry! I will try to find it in my mailbox.
Jo Amalan Rayen Fernando has left a new comment on your post "மார்கழித் திங்கள் மதி நிறைந்த நன்னாள் 7":
