This special report features a debate on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s critique of Thomas Macaulay’s influence on Indian education, exploring the ‘Modi versus Macaulay’ and ‘India versus Bharat’ dichotomies. The discussion includes author and former MP Rakesh Sinha, Professor Shruti Kapila of the University of Cambridge, scholar Dr. Suraj Yengde, and historian Professor Aditya Mukherjee, who analyze the impact of English on Indian culture and identity. Dr. Suraj Yengde states, ‘The question is not necessarily Modi versus Macaulay, but Manu versus Macaulay.’ The panel examines whether English has fostered a ‘colonial mindset’ or provided modern values, discussing the historical adoption of the language, its role in social mobility for Dalit communities, and the long history of anti-colonial critique within India, questioning if the current debate is driven by politics or a genuine cultural reckoning.
