In this edition of Democratic Newsroom, India Today’s Preeti Chaudhary hosts a heated debate on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call to shed the ‘Macaulay mindset’. Consulting Editor Rajdeep Sardesai argues that English is now a symbol of aspiration, quoting Mahatma Gandhi to emphasize cultural openness: ‘I want the culture of all lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible’. Managing Editor Gaurav Sawant counters, claiming the colonial mindset eroded ancient Indian knowledge like that of Aryabhatta, and asserts that ‘diversity is Bharat ka DNA’. The panel, including Maria Shakil, discusses whether the colonial hangover persists or if English is merely a skill for global opportunities.
