| | Colonial Rule in India - British Education, racism, eurocentricism, indology |
 | | As the architect of Colonial Britain's Educational Policy in India, Thomas Macaulay was to set the tone for what educated Indians were going to learn about themselves, their civilization, and their view of Britain and the world around them. |
 | | In this manner, India's awareness of it's history and culture was manipulated in the hands of colonial ideologues. |
 | | This view of India, as an essentially unchanging society where there was no intellectual debate, or technological innovation - where a hidebound caste system had existed without challenge or reform - where social mobility or class struggle were unheard of, became especially popular with European scholars and intellectuals of the colonial era. |
