About 170 years ago from now, a popular member
of the British Parliament and an important member of the "Supreme Council of
India", Lord Macaulay, had written the following letter of observation to the
British Government, after his visit to India in the
year
1835.


Томас Бабингтон Маколей
 ( 25 октября 1800 — 28 декабря 1859) — британский государственный деятель, историк, поэт и прозаик викторианской эпохи. На протяжении последнего десятилетия своей жизни он работал над пятитомной «Историей Англии» — капитальным трудом, заложившим основы виговского прочтения национальной истории. По известной оценке Карла Маркса, Маколей, будучи «систематическим фальсификатором истории», «подделал английскую историю в интересах вигов и буржуазии».

"Lord Macaulay (Thomas Babington Macaulay) ...arrived in India (Madras) on 10th June 1834 as a member of the Supreme Council of India. William Bentinck was the then Governor General. He returned to England early 1838, and resumed his writing career there. Macaulay was in India, thus, only for nearly four years, but he was destined to impact the lives of millions of Indians forever."
